PREDICTION

In their opener against Burkina Faso, Mauritania suffered a couple of injuries, leading to their eventual loss with a 96th-minute Bertrand Traore penalty making the difference. Their upcoming challenge is against an Angolan side that displayed a creditable performance, earning a remarkable 1-1 draw against Algeria, a team seen as one of the major favoUrites for the title. Managed by Pedro Goncalves, Angola are marginal favourites in a match expected to be a controlled affair.
