Mali Form
Mali kicked off the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying with an impressive 4-0 home over the Congo and a 3-1 away victory over South Sudan.
The Eagles' subsequent three matches were all friendlies, and they performed below their best, losing 1-0 to Mauritania, drawing 1-1 three days later against the same side and drawing 0-0 against Guinea.
However, they bounced back with two victories in a row in the African Nations Championship qualifying rounds, beating Sierra Leone 2-1 away and 2-0 at home.
Their last five results across all competitions are L, D, D, W, and W, netting five goals and conceding three.
After two losses at home, Mali have reversed that form with three games without a loss, including three clean sheets.
Their last five home results across all competitions are L, L, W, D, and W, scoring six goals and conceding one.
Mali have been on the ascendency, with a good performance at the Africa Cup of Nations, and they just missed out on qualifying for the Qatar World Cup.
They have never defeated Zambia, but this will be their best chance to notch up their first victory against their opponents.
