Chad’s long and painful qualifying campaign comes to an end with another stern test against Mali. The hosts are yet to register a single win in the group and have conceded freely throughout. Meanwhile, the Eagles travel looking to seal their campaign on a strong note and keep their defensive standards intact after a solid run of results.
Chad’s qualification run has been a tough one from the start. They have lost seven of their eight games, scoring just three times while shipping nineteen. Their only point came from a home draw with Ghana, but otherwise, the side has struggled to compete for long spells.
At home, the Sao have been outplayed in most matches, including defeats to Comoros and Ghana, and a recent 3–1 loss away to Madagascar. Defensive lapses have been costly, and their inability to hold out in the final third remains a recurring issue. The hosts have scored in only two of their last five outings, showing how limited their threat remains.
Mali arrive with a much better record, sitting safely in mid-table with three wins and three draws from eight. Their defensive numbers are among the best in the section — just five goals conceded — while the attack has produced eleven. They were unlucky to lose narrowly to Ghana last time out but otherwise have looked composed and disciplined.
Away from home, the Eagles have shown control and patience, keeping clean sheets at Comoros and Madagascar. Their 3–0 wins in both games reflect how effectively they manage transitions and exploit weaker defences. With little pressure on them, Mali’s focus will be on maintaining their shape and rhythm rather than chasing an open contest.
This fixture looks one-sided on paper. Mali’s defence has been consistent throughout qualifying, and their record against Chad underlines that dominance. The hosts’ main issue has been retaining structure once they fall behind, and that trend could easily continue here.
Given the visitors’ organised approach and recent scoring pattern, another low-margin win looks the most realistic outcome. Expect Mali to control possession, limit chances at the back, and strike when opportunities open up.
