Benin have been the more consistent of these two in recent qualifying windows and have home advantage in a group that remains tight. Their attacking players have been in decent form.

Mauritania are well drilled defensively and have made themselves hard to beat, so this is unlikely to be comfortable. Benin's greater threat in the final third should still edge it.

Estimated price — the site's odds feed has no market published for this fixture at the time of writing, so this line reflects team strength and recent form rather than a traded price.
