Third in its group in this qualifying campaign for the 2026 World Cup, Mali is one of the most disappointing nations on the African continent. Usually outsiders in the field, the Eagles have poorly negotiated their important meetings in this course, like the defeat conceded against Ghana (0-1).
AJ Auxerre striker Lassine Sinayoko and his teammates will be keen to win this Sunday against a team that is in their rearview mirror, Madagascar. Recent winners of their rival, the Comoros (2-1), the Malagasy are hot on Ghana's heels and have achieved a remarkable performance. The Eagles have been warned.
The expected compositions
Mali : Samassa; Dante, Fofana, A Diaby, F Doucoure; Dieng, Haidara; N Dorges, K Doumbia; G Diarra; Sinayoko.
Madagascar: T Randriamanampisoa, Pelmard, Tremoulet, JP Morgan; Couturier, Ilaimaharitra, Raveloson; Randrianantenaina, Adinany, Raheriniaina.
Where to watch the match?
This match between Mali and Madagascar counting for the qualifying campaign for the 2026 World Cup will be broadcast this Sunday on L'Equipe Live Foot, from 9 p.m.
