My people, na serious matter we get as two teams wey no sabi win don meet for this AFCON! Gabon and Mozambique don started their journey with losses, and dem dey sharp to collect their first win as dem go face each other for Grand Stade d’Agadir on December 28.
Kick-off na 13h30 local time. E go be the first time wey these two country go clash for AFCON finals, but no be new gist because dem don meet seven times before this competition. Gabon sabi win four times, Mozambique sabi win two, and one match end draw. Na wah! Their last jamboree na during 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifying, where Gabon win both matches wey dem play, one by 1-0. But wetin be the end of the day? Both teams no qualify for Russia.
Gabon start di AFCON wey dem dey trend as losses; dem lose 1-0 to Cameroon. Dis one don spoil their unbeaten run of six games wey dem get for AFCON group matches. E don be like say di team dey lose form because dem don dey win only one match out of ten AFCON games. Chai! Na real wah!
But make we no forget our star player, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, wey don dey sabi arrive for the tournament. He come off bench for di last match, and if everything work well, he go fit start against Mozambique. E don show say Gabon get power but dem need deliver. Dem win last second group match in 2012, and dem try work like that again.
On di other hand, Mozambique dey gree say dem need miracles to turn dia luck around. Dem also lost to Cote d'Ivoire 1-0, and dis don put dem for 16 matches wey dem never extract any win. Na dem be di only team wey don dey carry dem losses since dem start di AFCON. All dis bad record fit affect dem well well.
Gabon don dey use di past encounters to ginger their confidence. Dem record say if dem see Mozambique, dem gatz win win because di last four meetings chop win for one side or the other. But na wetin we see for dis tournament fit change everything, as Mozambique fit come show say dem no be small pickings.
So, my people, make we gear up for a match wey go get style and drama. Both teams dey need di points to keep their AFCON dreams alive. Will Gabon use their experience to di table, or will Mozambique finally break dem unbeaten spell? We go see!
