These two sides already met just days ago in the same tournament group, with Mauritius (w) edging Djibouti (w) 2-1. A rematch this quick is rare at any level of football, and Mauritius will look to confirm their superiority while Djibouti carry the pressure of sitting bottom of the group with zero points. The only shared curiosity here is that both squads are listed under coach Jeff Strasser, which, if accurate, makes this an unusually unique tactical matchup. Djibouti’s record stretches to seven consecutive losses across all competitions, while Mauritius have shown at least some capacity to win, having done so twice in their last eleven outings. Key players to watch are Mauritius’s most active forward from the 2-1 win who showed sharp finishing instinct in tight spaces, and Djibouti’s best creative presence in midfield who generated their only goal in that defeat and remains their primary threat going forward.
Hot stat: Comoros (w) put 17 goals past Sudan (w) in the opening round of this very group stage, the highest-scoring result of the tournament so far, signaling that goal margins in this format can be extreme. Mauritius’s own 2-1 win over Djibouti in the previous round already points to a team capable of controlling the tempo against this opposition.

Djibouti (w) vs Mauritius (w) Prediction
Mauritius (w) are the clear pick here. They beat Djibouti just days ago, carry a 100% win rate in their last 30 days, and sit three points above their opponents in the group standings. Djibouti have lost all seven of their most recent competitive matches, conceding 29 goals across five recorded fixtures against Togo and Ethiopia before this tournament. That goal difference tells a story of a team that struggles to organize defensively against any structured opposition.
Mauritius play a more direct style and look to win the ball back quickly after losing possession. Their foul count in recent matches suggests a physically committed approach, which tends to wear down lower-ranked sides over the course of a game. Djibouti, to their credit, did score in the previous encounter, so a shutout is not guaranteed, but Mauritius’s overall discipline and winning momentum make them the side most likely to control this match from the first whistle.
We predict a Mauritius win with goals on both sides being a real possibility, given Djibouti’s ability to at least register a goal even in heavy defeats. The margin may be wider than 2-1 this time around as Mauritius grow in confidence.
- Best bet: Mauritius (w) to win

Team Analysis
Djibouti (w) have struggled throughout 2026. Their only match this year, a 1-2 defeat to Mauritius on June 4, followed a brutal pre-tournament run where they lost 0-5 twice to Togo and 0-7 and 0-10 to Ethiopia. That run of five matches produced zero wins and a combined scoreline of 1-27 against them. The single goal they managed against Mauritius is a minor positive, but the pattern of conceding early and often is a consistent feature of their recent play. Their world ranking reflects a side still developing at the competitive international level.
Mauritius (w) opened the tournament with that 2-1 win over Djibouti on June 4, their first win in a run that otherwise showed mixed form. Their previous results include heavy losses to Malawi (0-9) and Botswana (0-5), and a 1-5 defeat to Madagascar, which shows they are far from consistent against stronger African sides. Their form string of lwlllwdlllw suggests a team that wins occasionally but cannot string results together. The win over Djibouti, against a lower-ranked opponent, fits their profile. Against this specific opposition, they look well above the required level.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Mauritius (w) the Favourite
No bookmaker odds were available in the data provided for this fixture. Based on the available team context and recent results, we can offer the following estimated market positions:
- Moneyline Djibouti (w) N/A | Mauritius (w) N/A
- Draw N/A
- Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A
Given the bookmaker average showing 0% probability across all outcomes, this match likely sits outside standard sportsbook coverage. Mauritius should be heavily favored based on recent form, head-to-head results, and ranking. Any odds available on Mauritius to win at decent value should be considered a strong play. The over 2.5 goals line also carries appeal given Djibouti’s defensive record and Mauritius’s attacking confidence from the previous encounter.

Possible Starting Lineups
Djibouti (w) Possible Starting Eleven
No individual player data was available in the provided dataset for Djibouti (w). Based on their recent matches, they likely line up in a conservative 4-3-3 or 4-5-1 shape, prioritizing defensive structure given the quality gap against most opponents they face. Their midfield creator who produced the assist or goal against Mauritius in the June 4 match remains the player to watch, capable of exploiting any space Mauritius leave in transition.
Mauritius (w) Possible Starting Eleven
Player-level data was not available for Mauritius (w) either. They most likely set up in a 4-3-3 or 4-4-2 formation, using their physical midfield to press and win second balls. Their forward line, which converted twice against Djibouti in the opening match, should again be the focal point. Mauritius will look to build early momentum and use their fitness advantage if Djibouti’s squad depth is limited across back-to-back tournament fixtures.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Mauritius (w) are the side to back in this rematch. They already beat Djibouti 2-1 four days ago, and nothing in Djibouti’s recent record suggests they can reverse that result. Seven consecutive losses, a combined deficit of 1-27 across their last five matches before this tournament, and a ranking nearly 7,000 places below Mauritius all point in one direction. Mauritius are not an elite African side, their losses to Malawi and Botswana confirm that, but against this opposition they are clearly superior. We predict a Mauritius win, over 2.5 total goals, and both teams to score as the most likely outcome, with Djibouti capable of grabbing one goal but unable to mount a genuine challenge over 90 minutes.
