Mali vs Tunisia Preview
The last time these two met Mali won an ill tempered match 1-0 at the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations. Both sides are known for their defensive solidity. I’m backing Mali to get over the line for a narrow win at home.

Mali Form
Mali’s form has been superb and they are unbeaten in 90 minutes over their last 10 matches in all competitions. To get to this point of World Cup qualification, Mali topped their group, winning five and drawing one of their six matches.
Over those six qualification fixtures Mali did not concede a goal. Mali also reached the second round of the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations, beating Tunisia 1-0, Mauritania 2-0 and drew 1-1 with Gambia.
Mali’s last outing saw them knocked out of AFCON against Equatorial Guinea on penalties. The match ended 0-0 after 90 minutes.
Mali Team News
Hamari Traore will miss this match due to his red card last time out. Issaka Samake should start at right-back.
The rest of the side should largely be the same as the one that played during the 2022 AFCON tournament.
Tunisia Form
Tunisia were quite fortunate during the 2022 AFCON tournament as they lost two and won one of their group matches. They qualified to the knockout stage as one of the best third place finishers.
From there Tunisia beat Nigeria 1-0 in the second round before going down 1-0 to Burkina Faso in the quarter-final.
During the group phase of World Cup qualification, Tunisia won four, drew one and lost one of their six games. They conceded just two goals during that campaign.
Tunisia Team News
Jalel Kadri has taken charge of the side after Mondher Kebaier was relieved of his duties post AFCON. Wahbi Khazri is suspended for this first leg clash.
