Tunisia vs Mali: No one will risk it

Tunisia face Mali in the Africa Cup of Nations. Who will be the stronger of the two sides? Check their form and decide which side to bet on.

Tunisia

The national team of Tunisia at the African Nations Cup is a dark horse as they have all chances of competing for even a provisional semi-final. The team is very strong and has a decent number of players from the European leagues. The Tunisians played six matches in the fall for the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, where they scored 13 points and won the group.

Mali

The Mali national team is also worthy of praise. They are among the top 10 favourites, but they certainly have very little chance of progressing beyond the last 16. As for the Malians' autumn matches in qualification for the 2022 World Cup, they were excellent there. However, their opponents in the group were quite easy. Mali managed to take the lead, scoring 16 points in six meetings.

Expert Betting Tips

With Tunisia and Mali being the clear favourites to win the group, they will be obliged to pick up three points each against lowly Gambia and Mauritania. But the head-to-head encounter is sure to be dull despite the high-profile title. There's no one risk. The opponents are happy with just one point each. As the main stake, we would suggest a bet on a double chance for the home team (as they are obviously of a higher class) and the underdog.
