Having never qualified for any major international tournament before, Chad are looking to make their debut next year. Ranked 181st in the world, the north African side are one of the weakest in the world, and face an uphill battle en route to marking their first appearance in the AFCON finals.

Last year, Les Sao played only four times and failed to win any of them. After two friendly games against Sudan, Chad began their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers with fixtures against Mali and Madagascar, losing both.

On the other hand, Mauritius are looking to end their 50-year wait for a second appearance at the AFCON. The island side were last seen in the tournament proper in 1974, bowing out in the group stages.

Although the Dodos are the favorites to beat Chad, their form right now isn't the best. They've failed to win their last three games, and won only thrice from their last eight matches.

This is a clash of two lowly-ranked teams, devoid of any serious quality within their ranks. Chad haven't won a game in over a year whereas Mauritius are coming off the back of a horrid run of form too.

Goals could be at a premium here, with the sides playing out a draw.

Prediction: Chad 0-0 Mauritius
