Comoros vs Mali Prediction and Betting Tips | March 20th 2025

Comoros will face Mali at the Stade Municipal de Berkane on Thursday in another round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. The home side have enjoyed a remarkable start to their qualification campaign and now sit atop Group I with nine points from an obtainable 12 as they continue to push for their first-ever World Cup appearance.

They beat Chad 2-0 in the last round, with former OGC Nice man Myziane Maolida opening the scoring on the hour mark before veteran forward El Fardou Ben came off the bench to seal the points in the final 15 minutes of the contest.

Mali, meanwhile, have endured a difficult start to their qualification campaign but have now appointed Tom Saintfiet as the new head coach and have made major strides under the Belgian. They were held to a goalless draw by 10-man Madagascar last time out in the World Cup qualifiers and will be gutted not to have come away with maximum points after playing against 10 men for the majority of the game.

The visitors sit fourth in their group with five points from four matches and will be looking to continue their strong run of form when they return to action on Thursday.
