Nigeria – Mozambique Tip Africa Cup of Nations, Round of 16 on Monday, 05.01.26 at 20:00
Only two teams have escaped in the group stage of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and won all three games – Algeria and Nigeria.
It is therefore no surprise that the Nigerians go into their round of 16 against Mozambique as clear favourites, especially since the Mozambicans are among the big outsiders in the first knockout round.
Since Nigeria has never conceded a goal in the last 6 games, I still trust the underdog in my Nigeria Mozambique tip to score a goal and target the football bet “Mozambique over 0.5 goals” at a strong odd around 2.00 at NEO.bet.
Nigeria vs. Mozambique AI Predictions:
Of course, our AI model also has the Africa Cup of Nations on its radar and serves you three bets in its Nigeria Mozambique AI prediction that offer themselves as betting alternatives.
Nigeria have won the first three games of the competition despite conceding a goal. Accordingly, the selection “Win Nigeria & Both Teams Score” on the presentation plate is a good choice. The odds around 3.55 are actually extremely generous at German betting providers.
Predicted chance of winning:
| Victory Nigeria |
Draw |
Victory Mozambique |
| 69.5% |
20% |
10.5% |
The second AI tip is also interesting. “Win Nigeria with Handicap -1” has odds of about 2.00. Recently, the Nigerians won 3-1 against Uganda, but the underdog was outnumbered for over half an hour. So a little more courage is required here.
Nigeria are superior in terms of play and have impressed so far in the Africa Cup of Nations. So it is understandable why the AI selects “Nigeria leads at half-time” at odds of about 1.85. And indeed, the Super Eagles were already in the lead at half-time in each of the three group games.
