Mozambique vs Benin Live |

Mozambique coach Mart Nooij will be hoping that his side can register its first ever African Nations Cup victory when they take on Benin in their first group stage game on Tuesday. Watch the match live and online inside our dedicated members area at watchfootballnow.com.
The Mambas have managed just one draw from nine games in their previous three appearances in the competition and while they are not expected to progress to the quarter finals this time around, Nooij will be aware that his side has a great chance to cause an upset should they collect all three points on Tuesday with Egypt clashing with Nigeria in the other game.
Mozambique qualified for their first African Nations Cup competition in more than 12 years thanks to a shock 1-0 win over Tunisia and Nooij is optimistic that his side can build on that result and pull off an upset by qualifying to the quarter finals ahead of much fancied Nigeria or Egypt.
Meanwhile Benin will be looking to improve on dismal performance from last time around after an impressive qualification campaign that saw them beat Ghana. Benin have lost all of the six group games from their last two appearances in the competition and coach Michel Dussuyer will be happy if they manage to collect at least a point this time around.
