Mauritania host Benin on Sunday, Mar 28 at 6:00 PM in a top-four clash that could have significant title implications. Both sides are separated by just 1 point in the Qualification – Group F, making this one of the more consequential fixtures of the season.

Mauritania come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 0D 1L). Benin, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 1D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks. Mauritania head into this on the back of a defeat, while Benin arrive off a win — momentum clearly with the visitors.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — Mauritania and Benin have split their 3 meetings almost evenly (1W–0D–2W). Their last encounter ended in Mauritania won 1–2. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 2.7 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow Mauritania win or a draw looks most likely.
