South Sudan vs Mali: Top Free Betting Tips

There were no surprises in the performances of these two teams at the start – Mali won their match in a dominant manner while South Sudan lost to Gambia. Here are our tips for this fixture.

Total Goals – Under 2.5

We do not expect to see the same performance from Mali in this second fixture, mostly because they will be the visitors in this match. South Sudan are one of the weakest national teams in Africa and we do not expect to see goals from them. From Mali's side, we expect a goal, maybe two, but definitely not three. However, the last three times these two teams played, Mali won with 3:0 or 0:3.

Match Result – Mali

Mali are the obvious favorite to win this group and after that amazing 4:0 in the first round, it should be apparent that they will triumph. That does not mean that they can neglect any match and we expect them to win this without issues. It would be much easier for them to qualify as fast as possible and not worry about the second stage of these qualifiers. There is a huge difference in class between these two squads and it will show in the 90 minutes of play.

Both Teams To Score – No

Mali and South Sudan have played four times in total and all four games happened in the past decade. In those four games, Mali have four wins and not a single conceded goal. That means they won with 2:0 and three times with 3:0. We do not expect this trend to change in this upcoming game. There is still a huge difference between these two teams and Mali's defense is amazing right now. This should be an easy clean sheet and an easy win for us.

South Sudan vs Mali: Form, Recent Games, and News

South Sudan Preview

South Sudan's squad does not include any well-known footballers that have experience or achievements in the top tiers of football. Most of the players perform in small leagues and in African leagues, with exceptions like Valentino Yuel, who performs for the Newcastle Jets in Australia. The expectations for Sudan are to fail in this group and it might already get decided if they lose this game.

Mali Preview

Mali are one of the highest-ranked national teams in Africa with their 8th place on the continent and 48th in the world rankings. The team has a squad of young talented players, most of which perform in strong clubs in Europe. The majority of their “star” players are in the French Ligue 1. Mali should be able to sweep this group and win it without issues and they will be motivated after failing to qualify for the World Cup in the final round of qualifications.
