Prediction: 1-1
Mali
After shocking Comoros in their last World Cup qualifying match, Madagascar will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they face Mali at FNB Stadium. Romuald Rakotondrabe’s troops are eyeing their third consecutive win in Group I and they are surely capable of making life difficult for Mali in front of home fans. Dinamo Bucharest forward Hakim Abdallah limped off with injury in the last group game, with Tendry Manovo Randrianarijaona likely to replace him in the starting XI.
The Eagles, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Ghana. Therefore, we do not believe that they are capable of grabbing more than one point from Tuesday’s clash. Even though there are no fresh injury concerns in the visiting team, all Kouyate, Toure, and Samassekou should be recalled to the starting XI. One of the men to watch in the away side will be Brest midfielder Kamory Doumbia.
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.
