PREDICTION
Mauritania encountered a couple of injuries in their opening match against Burkina Faso, ultimately losing with a 96th-minute Bertrand Traore penalty deciding the game. Now, they are set to face an Angolan side that delivered a commendable performance, securing an impressive 1-1 draw against Algeria, who are considered one of the major favourites for the title. Under the management of Pedro Goncalves, Angola are slightly favoured for a match likely to be low-scoring.
