MAPUTO, Mozambique (Interstat) — A crucial Moçambola clash is set for Monday as Costa do Sol hosts Ferro Maputo in a matchup of Mozambican football rivals.

The game, scheduled for Nov. 24, 2025, comes just over three months after Costa do Sol secured a narrow 1-0 victory over Ferro Maputo on Aug. 16. That recent result gives the home side a psychological edge heading into the fixture.

Both teams are seeking a return to winning form after being held to scoreless draws in their most recent outings on Nov. 12. Costa do Sol was held 0-0 by Desportivo Nacala, while Ferro Maputo played to the same result against the same opponent.

Costa do Sol’s form has been inconsistent, with a 1-0 loss to Black Bulls Maputo on Nov. 9 preceding their draw. Their attack has struggled, failing to score in four of their last five matches across all competitions.

Ferro Maputo arrives with a similarly mixed record. A 1-0 victory over Desportivo Nacala on Nov. 12 was a positive result, but it was preceded by a scoreless draw with Textafrica and a loss to Songo. Their matches have frequently been low-scoring affairs, with five of their last ten contests ending in draws.

According to the Interstat game simulator, Monday’s contest is projected to end in a 1-1 draw, suggesting a tightly contested match is likely.

Following this derby, Costa do Sol will travel to face Ferro Nampulo on Nov. 29. Ferro Maputo faces a quick turnaround with a match at Songo on Nov. 27.
