Match preview
Mauritius host Djibouti in an international friendly, with both sides looking to find rhythm after long periods of offensive difficulty. Mauritius enter this contest on the back of three consecutive 0-0 draws, having shared the points twice with Somalia in March 2026 and once with Libya in late 2025. In fact, Mauritius have failed to find the back of the net in each of their last four outings, scoring only once across their previous five fixtures.
Djibouti snapped a four-match losing run in their most recent fixture with a 1-0 away victory over South Sudan. Prior to that narrow win, Djibouti had struggled significantly at both ends of the pitch, suffering defeats against South Sudan, Bahrain, and two heavy losses to Morocco B while failing to score in four straight matches.
With both teams exhibiting pronounced struggles in attack over their recent campaigns, this friendly fixture shapes up as a tightly contested encounter where clear-cut scoring opportunities are likely to be limited.
Key factors
- Mauritius have played out three consecutive 0-0 draws against Somalia and Libya.

- Djibouti have scored only one goal across their last five fixtures, failing to find the net in four of them.

Mauritius have failed to score in four consecutive international matches dating back to October 2025. Similarly, Djibouti have failed to score in four of their last five matches, with each of their last five fixtures seeing at least one team keep a clean sheet. Backing at least one side to be held scoreless is strongly supported by recent form.

Mauritius have failed to score in four consecutive international matches dating back to October 2025. Similarly, Djibouti have failed to score in four of their last five matches, with each of their last five fixtures seeing at least one team keep a clean sheet. Backing at least one side to be held scoreless is strongly supported by recent form.
These two calls are about different parts of the match (total goals and both teams to score), so neither one determines the other. The figure shown is the lower of the two — a combo can never be more likely than its weaker leg.
