Head-to-Head Record
This is the fifth meeting between the parties.
Both have one win, while the previous two games ended in losses.
One of those came in their last meeting when they overturned a goalless draw in June 2022.
11 of Mauritania’s last 12 games (excluding the esteemed loss against the Republic of Congo) have seen at least one other team fail to find the back of the net.
Gabon have scored less than three goals in six of their last eight matches. In Gabon’s five AFCON qualifiers, the opposition have failed to find the back of the net.
Four of Gabon’s last six matches have been drawn at half-time.

Mauritania vs Gabon Results Prediction
Mauritania and Gabon face each other in a direct play-off for one of the qualification spots in Group I.
Both sides are tied on points and a win for either side will automatically qualify for the AFCON 2023 competition.
However, a draw could be enough if Sudan loses against the Republic of Congo. If Sudan lose and the two sides play to a goalless draw, Mauritania will advance, while a draw with Gabon will put them ahead of them in the table based on opposite records.
The high stakes of the game can turn it into a cage. We back both sides to beat each other in a low-scoring tie.
Result Prediction: Mauritania 1-1 Gabon
