Mali and Zambia face each other at Stade Mohamed V in what is expected to be a close AFCON 2025 clash, with out prediction pointing toward a goalless (0-0) draw. Mali have been impressive defensively of late, with the team conceding only 0.30 goals per game. Therefore, we predict that les Aigles are going to rely on their rock-solid defence in Monday’s clash. A man to watch in the home team will be Ligue 1 ace Kamory Doumbia, who has netted 14 goals for the national team.
The Copper Bullets, on the other hand, aim to put an end to their four-game losing run in all competitions. As Zambia will adopt a defence-minded approach in their opener as well, we are unlikely to see a high-scoring contest in Casablanca. The fact that they have been scoring only 0.60 goals per game of late goes in favour of our betting angle. As always, Leicester City forward Patson Daka will pose a big threat to the opposition back-line.
As 3 of their last 4 meetings have featured 2 or fewer goals, we are tempted to place our bets on Under 2.5 goals, with additional value on Half-Time Draw and BTTS – No.
This Africa Cup of Nations 2025 match will be played on Monday 22 December 2025 at 14:00.
