Gambia technically sits atop the group with Mail in the second automatic spot. Mauritania and Tunisia round up the group in third and fourth, respectively. With four top third-place finishers advancing to the knockout stage every point is important at AFCON.
Gambia vs Mali Pick & Prediction
Gambia competed in their first ever AFCON group stage game and were surprise 1-0 winners over Mauritania. The Scorpions got the win with a compact defense and an Ablie Jallow curler in the 10th minute. Mauritania was unlucky not to score as they had 60% of the possession, 20 goal attempts (two on target), and had 53 of the 74 dangerous attacked. History for Tom Saintfiet and this Gambia squad.
Mali opened the group stage with a 1-0 win over group favorites Tunisia. This game was marred in controversy as the match official tried ending the match in the 85th minute and then officially blew it dead just before the 90 minutes were up and without any stoppage time. Mali wont care as they used an Ibrahima Kone penalty in the 48th minute, and an Ibrahim Mounkoro penalty save in the 77th minute, to get the win. Not much separated these two teams.
