Mali are a favourite here in this clash.
We expect them to clinch a narrow victory here and qualify for the next round from the first spot.
It’s worth mentioning that Namibia and Mali met twice in their H2H history. They were in the same group during the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers (2020). In both cases, Mali players secured victories.
We say Mali to beat Namibia 1-0.
Prediction: Mali to win
In the previous two games, those teams scored less than three goals per match. We expect to see a low-scoring match.
Betting Tip: Total goals under 3.5
After a historical victory over Tunisia in the first round of the Africa Cup of Nations, Namibia were stunned by South Africa last week.
The Brave Warriors conceded four goals and failed to score at least one.
However, before the final match of Group E, Namibia keep a good chance to qualify for the next round.
Meanwhile, Mali are one of the teams that are showing good and consistent football so far.
They were close to claiming their second victory in the AFCON, but they were bit unlucky against Tunisia (1:1)
