On Sunday, Mauritius plays Pakistan in the opening match of the 2023 Mauritius Four Nations Cup at the Anjalay Stadium in Belle Vue Harel.
Kenya and Djibouti are also taking part in this unique friendly international football tournament. Mauritius plays for the first time since the Dodos lost all three of their matches in the group stage of the 2022 COSAFA Cup in July of that year.
After losing their first game 3-0 to Eswatini, they lost their second game 2-1 to Lesotho, and in their final game, they lost 2-0 to Malawi, allowing the island nation to deceive once more. Mauritius, on the other hand, will be hoping to rebound as the Four Nations Cup is held on its own soil.
Pakistan are not only the only non-African team competing in the Mauritian showpiece, but they are also the lowest-ranked team in the tournament, coming in at 195, one rank lower than even their rivals, Djibouti. This will be their first game since a 1-0 loss to the Maldives in a friendly match in March of this year. In the 20th minute, Ibrahim Aisam scored the game’s only goal to defeat the visitors.
For the subsequent 2023 SAFF Championship, head coach Shahzad Anwar has selected a 28-man team. The same group of players will also participate in the Mauritius tournament first.
This incorporates nine unfamiliar based players, four of whom were brought into the world in the UK and five in Denmark. Abdullah Iqbal, Yousuff Butt, Adnan Muhammad, Otis Khan, Hassan Bashir, Rahis Nabi, Easah Suliman, Harun Hamid, and Abdul Samad are the players in this group.

Mauritius vs Pakistan Prediction :
Since both are among the world’s weakest teams and have a deplorable lack of talent, the neutral fan probably won’t be interested in this at all.
Mauritius, who also has the advantage of playing at home, should be able to defeat Pakistan, the tournament’s lowest-ranked team, by the smallest of margins.
Prediction: Mauritius 1-0 Pakistan
Mauritius vs Pakistan Head to Head :
This will be the main gathering among Mauritius and Pakistan. Pakistan and Mauritius rank 195 and 180, respectively, in the bottom 30 of the world rankings. Pakistan has only played two games since the turn of the year 2020, both of which they have lost (1-0 to Nepal and 1-0 to Maldives). Mauritius have lost their last three games (all approaching at the 2022 COSAFA Cup).
Mauritius vs Pakistan Team News :
Mauritius will take the field for the first time since their disastrous performance at the 2022 COSAFA Cup in South Africa. With a -6 goal differential and zero points, Tony Francois’ team finished last in B and had no wins in the group stage. That makes 17 misfortunes in succession across all contests for Les Dodos as they head into this end of the week’s matchup.
A team that currently ranks 15 places below them in FIFA’s world rankings will be their next opponent. In order to get the Four Nations Cup off to a winning start, the hosts aim to end a three-year losing streak in front of their home fans on Sunday.
On Spring 21st, in a cordial match at Laamu Gan Zone Arena, Pakistan tumbled to the Maldives by a score of 1-0. In order to defeat Shahzad Anwar’s team, Ibrahim Aisham scored one goal just before the break. Pak Shaheen dropped their sixth game in a row, scoring just three goals in their last seven contests.
The visitors on Sunday will need to perform better in both phases of the game in order to avoid their eighth consecutive loss at home. Abdullah Iqbal, who is 20 years old and plays for B 93 Kopenhagen in Denmark’s second division, will be absent from Pakistan. Otis Khan and Harun Hamid might need to look out for the seat for this game since they just joined the club recently.
