Mali vs Nigeria Prediction
We predict Mali 1-1 Nigeria. Mali won twice and drew twice in their last five matches, and they are likely to hold Nigeria to a frustrating draw, although the Super Eagles lost just once in their last seven matches across all competitions. Both countries head into this encounter with a win last time out.
There’s a decent chance that Mali vs Nigeria will end with under 2.5 goals. Three of Mali’s five matches ended with under 2.5 goals, while three of Nigeria’s last five matches ended similarly too.
Match Preview: Mali vs Nigeria
Mali heads into this friendly match coming off a comfortable 2-0 win over Mauritania, and will want to maintain that energy against Nigeria on Tuesday night. Mali fell short in the recently concluded AFCON 2023, but their team is good enough to disturb any African side. They won two and drew two of their last five matches in all competitions.
Nigeria started their international duty with a tight 2-1 win over Ghana, and has suggested that they have put their AFCON 2023 final defeat to Ivory Coast behind them. They have a chance to end their international duty for March with a win when they face Mali in Morocco on Tuesday, but it will be a tough game, despite their decent form in their last seven games.
Predicted Starting Lineups
Mali: Diarra, Diaby, Haidara, Samassekou, Toure, Doumbia, Coulibaly, Sacko, Guindo, Sagnan, Sinayoko
Nigeria: Nwabali, Osayi-Samuel, Tanimu, Awaziem, Ajayi, Onyemaechi, Ndidi, Onyeka, Iheanacho, Dessers, Iwobi
