Gambia vs Mali comment: Soon to win tickets
Mali closed the first leg of the 2023 CAN Cup qualifiers with a brilliant performance winning all 3 past matches. With 9 absolute points, Mali firmly stands at the top of Group G and is 6 points behind the rest of the group.
Tonight, coach Chelle's teachers and students have a trip to Gambia's field and if they win all 3 points, they will touch a ticket to the final round in Ivory Coast at the end of this year. To be fair, there is a slight disadvantage on the field, but with a brilliant performance and a squad with many players playing in Europe, Mali is confident enough to complete the set goals.
For their part, the home team Gambia also needs a win to compete for 2nd place (the position also has tickets to the 2023 CAN Cup finals). However, even the most optimistic fans do not trust the home team to get what they want.
Remember, Gambia just lost 0-2 to Mali in the first leg a few days ago. More broadly, they are having 2 consecutive losses in the CAN Cup qualifiers.
