Everything remains to be done in group I of the qualifiers for the African Cup of Nations, but Mali could already take a serious option for qualification this Tuesday. After taking the lead on the last day, thanks to its victory against Guinea-Bissau (1-0), the selection led by Tom Saintfiet can take off for good if it manages to achieve new success against the same opponent this week.
This will not be an easy task: in the first leg, while playing at home, the Eagles had to wait until the second period to win, thanks to a goal from El Bilal Touré.
But the success had made it possible to forget a little about the problems recently experienced by the selection: sharply criticized by certain players for its management, the federation had notably taken the decision to sideline captain Hamari Traoré, in July, for ” breach of honor”.
The Guinea Bissau-Mali kick-off is scheduled for Tuesday, October 15, at 6 p.m. The match will be followed live on BeIN Sports 4.
