Mauritania

DDLLWL

Mauritania will be hoping to return to winning ways here following a 1-0 Africa Cup of Nations defeat in their last game at the hands of Cape Verde Islands.

In that match, Mauritania managed 31% possession and 11 shots on goal with 0 of them on target. At the other end, Cape Verde Isl got 18 attempts on goal with 4 on target. Ryan Mendes (88') was the scorer for Cape Verde Islands.

A common aspect of more recent Mauritania games is seeing a zero in the scoreline.

From their prior six matches before this one, in 5 of them a bet on BTTS would have been a losing one. That sort of trend won’t necessarily follow through into this next game, though.

Mali

WWDDWL

After suffering a loss in their previous game against Ivory Coast in Africa Cup of Nations competition, Mali and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that match, Mali had 62% possession and 11 attempts on goal with 4 on target. The only player to score for Mali was Nene Dorgeles (71'). For their opponents, Ivory Coast got 11 shots on goal with 3 on target. Simon Adingra (90') and Oumar Diakité (122') scored for Ivory Coast.

Éric Chelle's Mali have seen their goal attempts be successful a total of 12 times in the course of their most recent six matches. The number of goals that have been scored against them during those same clashes adds up to 6.
