"It won't be easy,"
"Comoros are a good team but I have confidence in my players. We played them twice this year in World Cup qualifiers and won both 3-0, but every game is different. We know we have to win and do everything for a victory."
"You have to be physically strong... if we are up to the task physically, which we lacked in the qualifiers, we have the means to put them in difficulty and key players who can put them in danger."
"I know the Malian mentality, I know the players individually. They have a strong state of mind and they have technical quality and physical intensity."
Mali aim to remain in the two automatic qualification spots for the AFCON last 16 when they face Comoros in Casablanca. Lassine Sinayoko's penalty earned Mali a draw with Morocco, ending the hosts' 19-match winning run. Mali felt they deserved a late penalty against Morocco and created sufficient chances in their 1-1 draw with Zambia. Mali defeated Comoros twice 3-0 in World Cup qualifying this year, but match conditions differ. Comoros lost 2-0 to Morocco and drew 0-0 with Zambia, with a Myziane Maolida goal ruled out. Comoros must win to advance; a draw favors Mali's qualification chances.
