Gambia marked their first ever AFCON game with a 1-0 win over Mauritania and they'll look to use that as a foundation to make it two wins from two at Mali's expense. Mali's win over Tunisia was a controversial one to say the least! Referee Janny Sikazwe blew for full time early twice in the narrow victory, with Tunisia refusing to return to the pitch after calling time on the game with 89 minutes on the clock. Mali will hope for a more routine game on Sunday and given their experience in the competition, they have the means to all-but secure their knockout stage spot this weekend. 0:1
With no injury or suspension concerns, it would be a surprise for if Tom Saintfiet were to make any changes to his side. Ablie Jallow scored the decisive goal against Mauritania and should keep his spot in attack. El Bilal Toure is suspended after his red card in a contentious 1-0 win over Tunisia earlier this week. Yves Bissouma will hope to start here after coming on with 30 minutes to play, but Mohamed Magassouba may be tempted to name an unchanged starting XI here.
