As both Mali and Tunisia are likely to adopt a cautious approach in Saturday’s last 16 clash, our prediction points toward a goalless draw (0-0). Mali booked their place in the 2025 AFCON knockout stages despite failing to record a win in the group stages. With the team conceding 0.50 goals per game of late, we are unlikely to see a high-scoring affair at Stade Mohamed V. Midfielder Amadou Haidara is banned for the match, while both Niakate and Traore are major doubts.
Tunisia, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs at the showpiece tournament in Morocco, with the team beating Uganda, losing to Nigeria, while sharing the spoils with Tanzania. FC Copenhagen forward Elias Achouri limped off with injury in the last group game, which definitely goes in favour of our betting pick. It has to be noted that the Eagles of Carthage had expected goals of 1.00 in the 1-1 draw with Tanzania.
As each of their last six H2H encounters (100%) have features 2 or fewer goals, we are tempted to bet on Under 2.5 goals, with additional value on Draw and Half-Time Draw.
This Africa Cup of Nations 2025 match will be played on Saturday 3 January 2026 at 19:00.
