Mali vs Rwanda Prediction
Mali began their qualifying campaign with a couple of victories, impressively defeating FIFA World Cup 2026’s surprise package Cabo Verde before then beating Liberia. That was ahead of a 1-1 draw with a strong Morocco side in a friendly last month.
Rwanda have been regressing for a while but the world number 119 also sprung a surprise to begin their qualifying campaign with wins against Liberia and Cabo Verde, too, last month before a goalless draw with Kenya.
That means the Rwandans are unbeaten in five matches in 2026 but the Malians do remain firm favourites, albeit it may not be the most thrilling watch for the neutral.
Mali vs Rwanda Tip: Mali to win & under 3.5 goals
