Mali vs Comoros Predictions

Mali are favourites despite being behind Comoros on the table. After beating Comoros 3-0 away in March, Mali are in a good position coming into this game. Defensively the hosts are very tough to break down, so I am backing a win to nil.

Head to Head

When these two met in March this year, Mali won the match 3-0 away from home.

Mali Form

This is a massive game for Mali as they come into this FIFA World Cup qualifier in fourth place in Group I. While Ghana look likely to take top spot, the chase for second place is still on.

Mali currently have nine points from six games with two wins, three draws and one defeat. They are three points behind Comoros in second place.

In March 2025 when Mali last played in the qualifiers, they beat Comoros 3-0 away from home. They failed to back it up a few days later, settling for a draw against Central African Republic. Mali have played one friendly since, losing 1-0 to DR Congo.

Comoros Form

Comoros currently hold second place in Group I of the FIFA World Cup qualifiers. They have won four and lost two of their six matches and are three points off top and three points clear of these opponents.

In March this year, Comoros suffered a 3-0 home loss to Mali in the World Cup qualifiers, a result that may yet come back to haunt them. Fortunately, a few days later, they managed to take all three points against Chad to keep them in second.

Since then, Comoros finished third in the COSAFA Cup, although no teams in the tournament fielded their strongest side. They did lose 4-2 to Kosovo in a friendly as well.

Verdict

Mali v Comoros

Mali have not been in great goal scoring form of late, but they don’t tend to concede many goals – eight clean sheets in their last 10 games. A home win to nil is tipped with 2-0, a good scoreline option.
