Comoros vs Mali Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | AFCON 2025

The Eagles have won both of their two games against the Coelacanths.

The Comoros national football team are going to battle it out against the Mali national football team for their third group stage game of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. This is going to be an entertaining outing, which will take place at the Mohamed V Stadium.

The Coelacanths are yet to secure a win in their ongoing campaign in the African competition. They faced a defeat at the hands of Morocco in their opening game and were then held to a goalless draw by Zambia. The Comoros national football team have not performed well in their last few games and are hence going to be under pressure.

The Mali national football team held the in-form Morocco to a draw in their previous AFCON fixture. After conceding a goal late in the first half, they made a comeback to score an equaliser in the second half. The Eagles will be confident coming into their next outing and are likely to put up a top show.
