Prediction: 0-0
Burkina Faso
Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium will host the Africa Cup of Nations game between Mali and Burkina Faso. Mali have yet to suffer a loss at the showpiece tournament in Ivory Coast and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence in Tuesday’s encounter. Brest midfielder Kamory Doumbia is pushing for a start, while there are no fresh injury worries in Eric Chele’s team.
Les Etalons, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 2-0 loss to Angola, but the last 16 clash will be anything but a walk in the park for Hubert Velud’s team. The two sides seem to be evenly matched at the moment and we predict that the winner will be decided after extra time or penalties. The good news for the nominal visitors is that both Ibrahim Blati Toure and Mohamed Konate are back from suspension. Bournemouth forward Dango Ouattara is widely expected to lead the line for Burkina Faso.
Highlighted Team (Mali):
Mali are an African football team that have never participated at the World Cup finals. Les Aigles (the Eagles), though, did well to make it to the 1972 African Cup of Nations final, with the team facing Congo in the title game.
Mali suffered a 3-2 loss to Pierre Lechantre’s men back then, but that is regarded as the team’s biggest success. The Malian national football team play their home games in yellow shirts and yellow shorts, while the colour of the team’s away kit is white. Stade du 26 Mars is regarded as the home stadium of Mali and the capacity of the venue is 60,000. Les Aigles won the Amilcar Cabral Cup on three occasions (1989, 1997 and 2007) and they made it to the final of the tournament four times.
Frederic Kanoute is the most notable footballer who played for the Malian national team and the former Sevilla and Tottenham attacker scored 23 goals in 39 appearances for the Eagles.
