Botswana is set to host Mauritania in a high-stakes showdown for their penultimate 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at Francistown Stadium. Both teams are tied on points, but Mauritania holds the third position due to a slight edge in goal difference. This match, scheduled for 13:00 GMT, is crucial, with only the slimmest margins separating these two sides and Cape Verde, who also have the same points.
Mauritania enters this encounter with a strong historical advantage, having won four of their five previous meetings with Botswana. The last clash between the two ended 1-0 in Mauritania’s favor, with Amar scoring the decisive goal in the 84th minute. However, Botswana, playing in front of their home crowd, is determined to break this pattern and keep their qualification hopes alive.
