Mauritania vs Gambia preview
After making it out of AFCON Qualifying Group E in second place, Mauritania have been on a bad run of form and head into today’s game vs Gambia having won just once in six attempts (2-1 vs Syria, Dec).
It’s a run of form that has seen Didier Gomes Da Rosa’s side fail to emerge from their African World Cup Qualifying group after finishing dead last and also exit the Arab Cup at the group stage late last year.
Gambia, on the other hand, have been in decent fettle of late, winning three and drawing one of their last six competitive games. After topping Group D, manager Tom Saintfient’s side will also be buoyed by a first AFCON appearance in the nation’s history
Affectionately nicknamed the Scorpions, high-flying Gambia head into today’s match on the back of two competitive losses vs Kosovo and New Zeland. But consecutive victories the last time they faced African opposition, Niger and Togo, will give them plenty of confidence.
The loser of this game is almost certain to struggle to make the knockout round given the strength of the other Group F teams (Mali and Tunisia), so be ready for an action-packed game of football this afternoon, with both teams throwing caution to the wind in a bid to get a result.
When does Mauritania vs Gambia kick off
Mauritania vs Gambia kicks off at 16:00 GMT at the Limbe Stadium.
