Comoros' recent form has been underwhelming, with a record of only two wins, two draws, and six losses in their last ten matches. Their latest appearance was at the Africa Cup of Nations, where they lost 2-0 to Morocco. In international friendlies, they achieved a 4-0 victory over Namibia but followed it with a narrow 1-0 win against the same opponent in another club friendly. However, a 1-0 defeat against Ghana in the African qualifiers exposed defensive vulnerabilities. Their attacking efficiency has been low, with few goals scored recently. Data indicates that Comoros scored in four of their last five matches, although high-scoring games are common, occurring 62.5% of the time. Mali presents a different picture. They have secured four wins, four draws, and two losses in their last ten matches, with three matches ending in draws. Their preparation for European competitions showed strong competitiveness. In the African qualifiers, they defeated opponents like Madagascar and Chad. They also managed to earn points against a strong team like Congo, indicating a relatively stable defensive organisation, with a high proportion of matches featuring a single-goal difference. While direct comparisons of strength may be difficult, the match will likely focus on defensive transitions and set-piece tactics, potentially shaping the game's flow. Both teams are seeking fresh momentum as they prepare for this crucial encounter. The Africa Cup of Nations match between Comoros and Mali is scheduled for December 30th at 03:00, with a betting line of 2.25 for over/under goals.
