Mali vs Comoros: Prediction and odds on the Match on 04 September 2025

Mali and Comoros will battle it out in round seven of the World Cup Qualifier at Stade Municipal de Berkane in Morocco. The first leg ended in Mali’s favour with Comoros failing to score. Can the Comoros’ side, with a huge chance of making the World Cup win here? Let’s look into this game and offer predictions. 

Mali: Form and Statistics

Mali’s performances in this fixture have been poor and it demands them to stand up big in the remaining encounters. In six games, they have lost only one encounter, coming against Ghana. However, three of their games have ended in a draw, coming against Madagascar twice and Central Africa. However, they defeated Chad in their qualifying opener and Comoros. 

Heading into this game, Mali lost to D.R. Congo in a friendly international, ending 1-0. However, that defeat was their second in their last five games, with one against Mauritania. 

Mali Team News and Lineup

Mali’s head coach, Tom Saintfiet will rely on experience in this squad with Yves Bissouma, defensive leader Sikou Niakhate, and forward talents like Kamory Doumbia and Nene Dorgeles expected to be the key names featuring in this decisive fixture.

Comoros: Form and Statistics

Comoros will look to display competitiveness after a poor performance in the first leg of this fixture. In the meantime, Comoros’ overall performances have been on a high level, picking 12 points from possible 18. In six games played, this team lost to Madagascar and Mali. Surprisingly, these World Cup performances have shown that sides like Comoros can be a problem to top nations, having defeated Ghana in their first meeting, a game that ended 1-0. Ahead of this game, Comoros have lost two of their last three games, both coming in the COSAFA Cup.

Meanwhile, Myziane Maolida has also been called up with Youssouf M’Changama expected to lead this side.

Mali vs Comoros Match Prediction 04 September 2025

Comoros have been one of the surprising sides pushing for a spot in the World Cup and it is difficult to ignore their impressive plays. While Mali are in a difficult situation after a slow start in this qualifier, a win in the first leg of this fixture might be a solid momentum for them. However, Comoros seem to understand how to get the job done but Mali defence has been the best in this qualifier group. On the other hand, provided Mali's offense line clicks, it is very clear that Comoros might struggle to contain them in defense, especially with this game expected to be approached with a lot of offensive play. Therefore, with Mali needing this win more on a neutral ground, I expect an early answer from them. Meanwhile, both teams seem to have a solid defense which they rely on, hence, a bet on a few goals. 

Our match prediction is a first half win for Mali with odds at 1.94 on 1Xbet bookmaker. 

Our betting tip is under 2.5 goals with odds at 1.61 on Bet365 bookmaker. 

Our final match prediction is a win for Mali and under 3.5 goals with odds at 1.85 on Betway bookmaker.
