Will Our Team Overcome Today’s Tough Challenge
The highly anticipated match is set to take place tonight at Stade 26 Mars! Our Ghanaian players are gearing up to face Mali in the third round of the CAF World Cup qualifiers, promising a thrilling showdown. ChampionBet will be there to capture every moment of this high-stakes game. If you haven’t placed your bet yet, you can do so HERE.
Mali is currently second in Group I with 4 points after the first two matches, while Ghana is fourth with 3 points. Mali has been one of the most improved teams in Africa over the last two years and is favored to win their group, which could secure their historic first World Cup qualification. At the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, they led their group with 5 points, including a win over South Africa and a draw with Tunisia. They knocked out Burkina Faso in the round of 16 and led against Ivory Coast in the quarterfinals before losing in extra time. In the World Cup qualifiers, they defeated Chad and drew with Central Africa. They have only lost one match since March 2023 and have been unbeaten at home since March 2022.
At AFCON 2023, we didn’t make it out of the group stage, losing to Cape Verde and drawing with Egypt and Mozambique, but we still believe in our team to turn things around this year. New coach Otto Addo hasn’t won a match with the team yet, but he has made several critical changes for today’s match – dropping captain Andre Ayew and calling up young talents like Ibrahim Sulemana and Brandon Thomas-Asante. Mali is in much better shape, and its gameplay is much faster. However, we firmly believe that we can still win, and what about you?
