This match is a must-win for both sides, with the winner potentially securing qualification. Comoros has a history of causing upsets, but their group, which includes Morocco and Mali, presents a significant challenge. Their performance against Zambia was considered adequate, and striker El Fardou Ben Nabouhane stated that they will continue to employ a defensive counter-attacking strategy against Mali. Mali, who earned a point against Morocco due to their physical prowess, possess a key advantage in their squad depth, with minimal difference between starters and substitutes. Mali has already comprehensively defeated Comoros twice in the World Cup qualifiers this year. The odds are fair, and Comoros's recent form is not poor. In previous World Cup qualifiers, they were given odds of 0.75 at home and 1.25 away. However, I don't see Comoros gaining any advantage over Mali. Comoros players are generally smaller in stature, which is typical of island nations. Mali is adept at exploiting their physical advantages, forcing Comoros to adopt a defensive approach and making it difficult for them to create opportunities. In this scenario, I predict Mali will secure a comfortable victory and advance. Prediction: Away - Mali -1
