A low scoring draw likely for Tunisia and Mali
2680
Tunisia take one Mali in Suez on Friday with the second round of group matches in full flow.
Mali sit at the top of Group E following their opening win over Mauritania whilst Tunisia could only manage a draw against Angola.
Tunisia took the lead in the 34th minute through Youssef Msanki. He converted from the penalty spot following a wild lunge from Angolan midfielder Paizo.
Alanyaspor forward Djalma Campos equalized for Angola in the second half to deny Tunisia a win in their AFCON 2019 opener.
The stats suggest it was a very even match. The possession was split 49/51 and both teams had 9 shots throughout the game.
Tunisia will see Mali as a much tougher opponent and they will need to up their game and improve on their performance against Angola.
Mali thrashed Mauritania 4-1 in their first match with a completely dominant display against the tournament underdogs.
They had 19 shots whilst limiting Mauritania to just 7 and will be extremely satisfied with their start to the tournament.
Abdoulay Diaby gave Mali the lead with a spectacular long-range effort. The Sporting striker picked up the ball and smashed it into the net from just outside the 18-yard box.
Moussa Marega made it 2-0 with a penalty before Adama Traore scored his side’s third with a solo run and finish into the bottom corner.
Mauritania pulled one back with a penalty of their own in the 72nd minute but Adama Traore scored his second of the game just a minute later with another incredible curling strike from the edge of the penalty area.
Mali and Tunisia’s head to head record stands at 5-3 in favor of Tunisia. They have faced each other 8 times in total with none of those matches ending in a draw.
Their most recent meeting came in 2011 when Tunisia claimed a 4-2 victory in a friendly match.
These two teams are the favorites to qualify from Group E. Mali can secure a place in the round of 16 with a win on Friday whilst Tunisia will also be desperate for a win following their opening draw.
Forebet predicts a tight and low scoring match, with a 1-1 draw the most likely outcome.
