THE TEAM NEWS
CABO VERDE
Cabo Verde have been magnificent in the group stages of the Africa Cup of Nations. Pedro Leitao Brito introduced Bryan Teixeira off the bench in their final game against Egypt and he scored a late equaliser but he is expected to remain on the bench for this Round of 16 encounter.
PREDICTED XI (4-1-4-1): Vozinha; Semedo, Costa, Borges, Tavares; Pina; Mendes, Andrade, Rocha, Rodrigues; Benchimol
UNAVAILABLE:
QUESTIONABLE:
MAURITANIA
Mauritania have had to deal with a couple of injury concerns during this tournament, such as former Fulham striker, Aboubakar Kamara. Kamara, as well as Hemeya Tanjy, remained on the bench against Algeria and they will likely remain unchanged for this game against the islanders.
PREDICTED XI (4-1-4-1): Niasse; Keita, Dellahi, L. Ba, Diaw; Gassama; Amar, Thiam, Bodda, Koita; Anne

THE PREDICTION
Cabo Verde began their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations group stage campaign with a 2-1 defeat of Ghana before hammering Mozambique by three goals to nil and then sharing a 2-2 draw with seven-time winners, Egypt. They will be aiming to progress into the quarter-finals for just the second time ever. They face a Mauritania side that stunned the continent with their shock 1-0 defeat of Algeria the other day but they head into the knockout stages as arguably the weakest side and a Cabo Verde victory is to be expected.
TIP: CABO VERDE TO WIN
