Head to Head


Eswatini and Mali meet for the first time in a competitive match. 

Eswatini Form 


Eswatini came up short against Guinea-Bissau in their AFCON qualifier last week, losing by a goal to nil. 

Eswatini had 34% possession and seven shots in the game, with two attempts on goal. 

Before that, Eswatini defeated Somalia 3-0, drew 2-2 against Somalia, lost 1- against Angola and 2-1 against Mauritius. 

Sihlangu Semnikati have one win in their last five fixtures, including three losses and one draw. They scored six goals and conceded six.  

Eswatini have lost three consecutive matches, which does not bode well for them when they take on a Mali side with solid away form. Can they cause an upset?

Mali Form 


Mali had plenty of chances to win against Mozambique but their finishing let them down as they had to settle for a point after the score ended 1-1. 

Mali had 57% possession and 20 shots in the match, with four attempts on goal. 

Before that, Mali beat Mauritania 2-0, defeated Nigeria 2-0, lost 2-1 against Ghana, and drew 0-0 against Madagascar. 

The Eagles have registered two victories in their last five fixtures, including one loss and two draws. They scored six goals and conceded three.

Mali have won three of their last five away games, including one loss and one draw. They scored seven goals and let in three at the back. 

Mali will rue their missed chances in their opening Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match last week; however, they will fancy their chances to rebound with a victory over an Eswatini side that have been losing frequently lately.
