Comoros haven’t scored at AFCON and I don’t expect that statistic to improve against Mali. The Eagles have a far superior squad and can make it count to ease into the knockout rounds.

Key Stats - Mali on Top


  • Comoros have lost 4 of their last 5 matches.
  • Comoros have failed to score in their last 2 matches.
  • Mali have won 3-0 in 2 matches against Comoros.
  • Mali have won by 2+ goals in 3 of their last 5 competitive matches.
  • Mali have kept 5 clean sheets in their last 9 competitive matches.
  • Lassine Sinayoko has scored 5 goals in his last 4 matches.

HTH - Mali Dominant


Mali have a 2-0 advantage Comoros, winning 3-0 in both matches in the 2026 World Cup qualifiers.

Kamory Doumbia netted three goals and Dorgeles Nene scored twice.

Comoros Can't Score


Comoros failed to qualify for the World Cup and lost all three group stage games in Arab Cup.

The Coelacanths haven’t been able to improve at AFCON where they are yet to score a goal. Yannick Pandor saved a penalty against Morocco but it wasn’t enough, ending with 0.31-1.93 xG in a 2-0 defeat.

Stefano Cusin’s side were involved in a dour 0-0 draw against Zambia on Friday. Both teams had 10 shots but only one of those was on target, neither side able to get over 0.50 xG.
Cusin remained positive despite his team unable to find a goal, saying: "We managed to contain a very strong Morocco and took a point from Zambia.

"Against Mali, we face a team we have never beaten. My players are young, but I ask them to think like a big team. We have nothing to lose and everything to gain."

Comoros Predicted Line Up & Squad


Comoros (4-3-1-2) Yannick Pandor; Said Bakari, Kenan Toibibou, Ahmed Soilihi, Ismael Boura; Zaydou Youssouf, Yacine Bourhane; Myziane Maolida, Youssouf Mchangama, Faiz Selamani; Rafiki Said

Faiz Selemani could start here in an attempt to ignite Comoros’ attack.

Mali Yet to Win at AFCON


Mali were unable to qualify for the World Cup, finishing third in Group I after winning five of their 10 matches. They played one friendly to warm up for AFCON, a 0-0 draw against Jordan.

Tom Saintfiet’s side were set for victory in their opening match in Group A. El Bilal Toure saw his penalty saved before Lassine Sinayoko opened the scoring, but they were caught out in added time by Zambia and had to settle for a 1-1 draw.

The Eagles fell behind against Morocco but held on and were rewarded from the penalty spot. Sinayoko converted it and they held on for an important point which preserves second spot in the group.

Mali Predicted Line Up & Squad


Mali (4-2-3-1) Djigui Diarra; Woyo Coulibaly, Abdoulaye Diaby, Mamadou Fofana, Amadou Dante; Mamadou Sangare, Aliou Dieng; Lassine Sinayoko, Kamory Doumbia, Dorgeles Nene; El Bilal Toure

Yves Bissouma returned from injury and lasted 57 minutes against Morocco. Expect the playmaker to start again here.

Defenders Sikou Niakate and Hamari Traore continue to recover from injury and could sit out again to be in contention for the knockout rounds.

Verdict

Comoros are one of three teams yet to score at AFCON and are set for a group stage exit. Mali will want to rack up a score here and confirm their spot in the Round of 16.
