Mali Form
Mali bounced back with a win after their quarter-final exit at the recent AFCON finals, defeating Mauritania 2-0 last weekend.
Mali got off to a flyer against Mauritania when they took the lead in the 9th minute of the match and doubled their tally three minutes later to take control of the game.
Mali had their moments in the second stanza, but the score remained unchanged till the final whistle.
Before that result, Mali topped their group at the Africa Cup of Nations at the beginning of the year before defeating Burkina Faso 2-0 in the round of 16 but came up short against the eventual champions, the Ivory Coast, losing 2-1 after extra time.
The Eagles have won two of their last five fixtures, including one loss and two draws. They scored six goals and let in four at the back.
Mali have been in solid form in recent months, but their record against Nigeria is not the best, and they will have to play well to get the results as the opponents are in red-hot form.

Nigeria Form
Nigeria returned to winning ways with a 2-1 triumph over rivals Ghana last weekend.
Nigeria opened the scoring when they converted a spot kick in the 38th minute of the match to go into the break with the upper hand.
Nigeria grabbed their second goal after 84 minutes of play before Ghana pulled one back in the fifth minute of stoppage time.
Before that, Nigeria performed well at the Africa Cup of Nations, drawing 1-1 against Equatorial Guinea before beating the Ivory Coast 1-0 and Guinea-Bissau 1-0 in the group stages.
The Super Eagles defeated Cameroon 2-0 in the round of 16, Angola 1-0 in the quarter-finals, and South Africa in the semi-final, going through 4-2 on penalties after the score ended 1-1
Nigeria faced the Ivory Coast in the final, who they had defeated earlier in the competition but lost 2-1 on the night.
The Super Eagles have recorded four victories in their last five fixtures, including one loss. They netted seven goals and conceded three.
Nigeria have another tough assignment ahead when they tackle Mali; however, they will fancy their chances to achieve another victory over their opponents as they have been in great touch lately.
