Cape Verde will look to build on their shock win over Ghana in the opener when they take on Mozambique at the Stade Feliz Houphouet-Boigny on Friday, with kickoff slated for 14:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Cape Verde shocked the tournament with the biggest scalp yet when they overcame a hapless Ghanaian side 1-2 to take all three points and bolt to the top of Group B. They can seal qualification out of Group B if they can beat Mozambique and take their tally to six points ahead of their last match of the group against one of the fancied sides, Egypt.

Since 2014, the two sides have played six times; the two sides have won two matches apiece, with the remaining two ending in draws. The head-to-head statistics have seen Cape Verde score four goals to Mozambique’s five goals.
