"The Coelacanths must win to avoid elimination and give themselves a strong chance of reaching the last 16, having lost to host nation and tournament favourites Morocco before drawing 0-0 with Zambia. Mali, who followed up a 1-1 draw against Zambia with a notable point against Morocco by the same scoreline, will go through automatically if they avoid defeat and Zambia do not beat the Atlas Lions in the simultaneous section decider."
"Midfielder Aliou Dieng, who captained Mali against Zambia, was one of eight players in the squad to be booked against Morocco, leading Saintfiet to suggest that avoiding potential suspensions will shape his team selection against Comoros. Tottenham midfielder Yves Bissouma missed the first game through injury but started against Morocco, playing for 57 minutes. Mali starting XI: Diaby, Dorgeles, Bissouma, Camara, Doucoure, Diarra, Sinayoko, Doumbia, Sangare, Camara, Gassama"
