Mali take on the visitors Egypt in the round 1 match of Africa Cup of Nations group stage. The match will be played on Tuesday, January 17th.
Mali national football team had shown excellent results in 2015 and in the beginning of 2016. However, they didn’t play well in matches starting February of last year, recording five wins, one draw and four defeats in their last 10 matches. The most important fact is that the team is unable to win in three matches in a row after 0-0 draw with Gabon, 1-3 defeat to Cote d’Ivoire and 1-2 loss to Burkina Faso.

Egypt, in turn, have been showing excellent results for many years and play one of the best football in the continent. The Pharaohs won seven, drew two and lost two of their recent 11 matches. The team is currently on three-match winning streak after they’ve beaten Congo, 2-1, Ghana, 2-0, and Tunisia, 1-0. Of course, Egypt are one of the favorites for the title in this year Africa Cup of Nations.
The opponents have faced one another three times before and all three matches ended with 1-0 wins of Egypt national team. Yet again, the Pharaohs have better chances for another triumph and extension of their winning streak in head-to-heads as they are more balanced side and recent results of their opponents, Mali, don’t impress.
Prediction for the match: Egypt to win.
