Mozambique Train In Ghana For World Cup Clash Against Nigeria

The Black Mambas of Mozambique will train in Ghana from Monday onwards, ahead of this weekend's World Cup Group Two qualifier against Nigeria in Abuja.

Mozambique's most capped star, Manuel Bucuane alias 'Tico Tico', who spoke to goal.com before the team departed South Africa for Accra, Ghana, admitted that Sunday's clash against the Super Eagles will be a difficult game.

"It will be tough, but we hope to make a plan with the coach to get a result in Nigeria," he said.

Mozambique are third in the standings with four points from as many games with 'Tico Tico' grabbing the match winner when they hosted the Harambee Stars of Kenya last month in continuation of the qualifying series.

Nigeria held the Black Mambas to a goalless draw when they first clashed in Maputo in March.
