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 v Mali

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