Team News

Mali
Ivory Coast
  • Mali are expected to go with their favoured 4-3-1-2 system for their quarter-final clash against the host nation.
  • Midfielder Amadou Haidara has emerged as an injury doubt.
  • The hosts could be without both Sebastien Haller and Ibrahim Sangare here, after the latter was forced off through injury against Senegal.

Prediction

  • Mali conceded just their second goal of the tournament so far when they progressed past Burkina Faso in the round of 16.
  • Host nation Ivory Coast remarkably knocked out defending champions Senegal on penalties, to keep their hopes of a home AFCON title alive.
  • When these two sides met at this stage, back in 2019, it was Ivory Coast who prevailed by one goal to nil.
  • This one should be just as close, with extra-time the likeliest outcome.
