Comoros vs Mali Predictions

This should be a very good contest with Comoros topping the table but Mali in slightly better form. I believe the visitors can take a point from this game.

Head to Head

These two have not met in a competitive fixture before.

Comoros Form

Comoros are top of Group I for the Africa World Cup qualifiers after four matches. They are on nine points after winning three fixtures along with one defeat.

However, Comoros are not in the best of form coming into his game, losing their last two fixtures 2-0, home and away to Mali in the Africa Nations Cup. It must be said that the tournament is mainly used for fringe players, so the strongest lineup did not feature.

Comoros Injuries & Team News

Comoros have two home games this week and will surely be looking to take six points with no travel. There is no reason to rest key players in either game.

Mali Form

Mali will still have hopes of making the top two in the group, but they are currently fourth with one win and two draws to their name. They need a big result in this game to really mount any pressure on those above them.

While World Cup qualifiers have not been played since June 2024, Mali have achieved some good results in other competitions. In AFCON qualifying, Mali beat Guinea-Bissau at home, drew against the same opposition away and beat Mozambique and Eswatini.

In the Africa Nations Cup, Mali lost 1-0 in Mauritania before drawing at home against the same opposition.

Mali Injuries & Team News

Mali have a strong squad available for this week’s qualifiers. I expect them to field a good side despite playing both games on the road this week.

Verdict

Comoros v Mali

I am backing this fixture to end level. A 1-1 draw is tipped.
