Mali is set to welcome Ghana on Thursday, June 6, in an exciting match-up as part of the African qualifiers for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
The clash between Mali’s Eagles and Ghana’s Black Stars is a highly anticipated fixture in Round 3 of the qualification games in Group I.
Ahead of the game, all eyes are on the form of both teams. Mali has been enjoying a good run of form, winning both of their last two matches. In their latest game, they emerged victorious with a 2-0 win over Nigeria in a friendly match during the March international break. The Eagles have won three out of their last five matches, showcasing their strength and determination.
On the other hand, Ghana is struggling with one of the team’s worst forms in history. The Black Stars have been winless in their last five matches, having drawn three times and lost twice. Despite this, they are not to be underestimated and will be looking to turn things around in their upcoming match against Mali.
Matches between Mali and Ghana have always been tough battles. In the last five encounters between the two teams, both Mali and Ghana have secured two wins each, with one draw in 2015. With home advantage on their side, Mali will be looking to grab a win against Ghana and gain the upper hand in the rivalry.
In terms of Group I standings, Mali is in a better position than Ghana. The Eagles are currently second in the table with four points, having secured one win and one draw in the first two qualifiers. In contrast, Ghana is fourth in the group with just three points from the same number of matches.
The match between Mali and Ghana will take place at the Stade du 26 Mars in Bamako, with kick-off scheduled for 7 pm. It promises to be an exciting and intense showdown between two strong African teams vying for a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
