Mozambique and Mali are set to face off in a crucial Africa Cup of Nations Qualifying clash, with both teams tied on points in Group I. The last time these two teams met, it ended in a 1-1 draw, and we can expect another intense match in Maputo this weekend.
Mozambique is coming off a convincing 3-0 victory against Eswatini, with goals from Domingues, Stanley Ratifo, and Geny Catamo securing the win. They are currently leading Group I with two wins and two draws, remaining undefeated in the qualifiers.
On the other hand, Mali played to a goalless draw against Guinea-Bissau in their last match. Despite starting their campaign with a draw against Mozambique, Mali has since secured two consecutive 1-0 victories and will be looking to claim the top spot in the group with a win against Mozambique.
In terms of team news, Mozambique is expected to field a similar lineup from their previous match, while Mali will rely on key players like El Bilal Toure, Adama Traore, and Moussa Djenepo to lead their attack. Both teams have shown solid form in the qualifiers, setting the stage for an exciting encounter.
Predictions for this match lean towards a narrow victory for Mali, given their strong lineup and recent performances. However, with both teams fighting for the top spot in Group I, we can expect a competitive and thrilling showdown at the Estadio do Zimpeto. Fans can look forward to an intense battle between Mozambique and Mali as they aim to secure a crucial win in their AFCON qualifying campaign.
