Mali vs Eswatini Prediction

As mentioned, the Malians are one of the stronger sides in Africa but they go about their business in quite a defensive and reactive manner with very few goals scored or conceded.

In fact, their five qualifiers have produced just five goals with four scored and one conceded. The Malians come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat of Mozambique the other day thanks to an early winner from attacker Kamory Doumbia.

Eswatini, on the other hand, are winless in their opening five matches with two draws and three defeats. The visitors earned their second point of the campaign with a 1-1 draw against Guinea-Bissau in which Guinea-Bissau equalised in the 87th minute.

Mali are the overwhelming favourites for this one but, as mentioned, it is unlikely to be an entertaining encounter and will likely be another game in which they grind out a result.
