Mauritania vs Central African Republic — Tips & Analysis

Mauritania -0.5: Mauritania have won all four previous meetings with Central African Republic, and they did it the same way each time. Those games finished 1-0, 2-1, 1-0 and 2-0, the most recent a 1-0 win in August 2025. Mauritania are hard to score against. They let in less than a goal a game, and only 1 of their last 10 games had 3 or more goals. They barely score themselves, with 4 goals in 10 competitive games, so nobody should expect them to pull away here. Central African Republic are the weaker side by some distance. They have lost 9 of their last 13 games and let in almost 2 goals a game. That run includes a 0-5 home defeat by Ghana and 0-2 losses to Comoros and Madagascar. They have not won by 2 or more goals in any of their last 13 games. Central African Republic have not played a competitive game in 347 days and Mauritania in 303, so expect a cautious, slow game. A 1-0 Mauritania win is the most likely score, and that is a winning result for this pick. The warning is simple. A goalless tie sits right behind that 1-0, because Mauritania score so rarely. Central African Republic are also better away from home. They score more than a goal a game on the road and have two wins in their last five away games. We still expect Mauritania to find the goal that wins it.
