Mozambique will aim to build on their recent progress when they face Ethiopia at Maputo’s Estadio do Zimpeto on Friday.
The match kicks off at 13:00 GMT on 13 November 2026, with Mozambique seeking a second consecutive victory in their Africa Cup of Nations 2027 qualifying campaign.
The Mambas go into the fixture having produced an emphatic 4-1 victory over Sudan last month. That result followed a hard-fought 1-1 draw with Senegal, recorded a few days earlier as Mozambique began a new international cycle against a strong side.
Mozambique have shown signs of steady improvement in recent years and will now look to maintain that momentum on home soil.
Ethiopia, meanwhile, made a difficult start to their qualifying campaign. They were beaten 1-0 by Sudan in their opening match before suffering the same scoreline against Senegal.
The defeats brought an end to Ethiopia’s four-match unbeaten run, despite the progress they had demonstrated earlier in the year.
With home advantage and a more convincing recent result behind them, Mozambique are expected to claim victory in Maputo.
