Ghana vs Mali Predictions - Mali backed to get a point in Ghana

Ghana faces a tough challenge against an in-form Mali in the World Cup qualifiers. While Ghana is leading Group I, their recent 1-1 draw with Chad exposes vulnerabilities. Mali, having won 6 of their last 9 matches to nil and only conceding once in that spell, look resilient. Their convincing 3-0 win over Comoros shows they are gathering momentum. The key action point: Ghana must avoid more dropped points to stay ahead, while Mali aims to secure at least a draw to remain in contention.

Ghana vs Mali Predictions


Ghana are favourites at home but Mali are in very good form with just one goal conceded in their last nine matches. The visitors were also very good in their 3-0-win last Thursday, so I can see them getting a point against the Black Stars.

Head to Head


Ghana beat Mali 2-1 away from home earlier in this qualification campaign. That match took place in March 2024.

Ghana Form


Ghana still top Group I in the World Cup qualifiers on 16 points They have won five, drawn one and lost one of their seven games to date.

While the Ghanaians remain favourites to qualify, they have invited some pressure on themselves. Mali are only four points off them while Comoros are one point behind and Madagascar three.

Despite their decent form, Ghana failed to put Chad away on Thursday. They drew the game 1-1 after conceding an 89th minute equaliser. That was Chad’s first point of the entire campaign.

Mali Form


Mali are still in the running to qualify in either top spot or second, however, they need a couple of big results. To get to top they will at the very least need to avoid defeat to Ghana who are four points clear of them.

Mail were superb at home on Thursday, beating Comoros 3-0 on home soil. They will need a similar performance in this fixture.

Nene Dorgeles opened the scoring in the first half before Kamory Doumbia and Lassana Coulibaly added second half goals.

Verdict

Ghana had a poor result last week and could suffer another draw against an in-form Mali.
