The Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers continue in Group I as Guinea-Bissau faces Mali in the second leg of their October double-header on Monday. Mali, fresh off a 1-0 win on Friday, will look to extend their dominance, having won all five of their previous meetings. Guinea-Bissau, struggling for form, will aim to rebound at home but face an uphill battle, given their poor recent results and Mali’s strong performance.

Mali’s El Bilal Toure scored the decisive goal in their last encounter, securing victory. Guinea-Bissau will rely on Everton striker Beto and the experienced Mama Balde to lead their attack, while Mali is expected to continue with an in-form Toure and Yves Bissouma in attack.

Guinea-Bissau 1-2 Mali
