Angola meets Mali in round 3 of the Africa Cup of Nations. The match will be played on Tuesday, July 2nd at Ismaïlia Stadium (Ismaïlia)
Angola has managed not to lose in both matches against Mauritania and Tunisia (two draws). But even this is not enough to progress from the group. It is necessary to beat Mali, which is heading the group now. Since even if there is a draw in the upcoming game and Angola takes the 3rd place, 3 points that it has may not be enough to take a place in the 1st four, which gives 6 teams winning 3rd places in their groups the right to participate in the playoffs.

After Mali beat Mauritania and played a draw with Tunisia, and the rivals in the group have drawn, 5 points may well be enough to get out of the group either from the 1st or 2nd place. Mali has 4 points, and it is likely to gain at least one more in the upcoming match.
Angola has nowhere to go. The team should attack and try to win this match. We will see whether it manages to do it or not. But being carried away by the attacks, Angola will create more and more free zones as the game time expires. And Mali has is a pair of Portuguese legionnaires in the attack for such a case. Diaby from Sporting and Marega from Porto, plus Genero from Belgian Standard. And these guys will probably at least 1 time punish for such failures in the defense. And if Mali manages to score the first goal, Angola will open completely and most likely the 2nd ball will fly into the net of the Black Antelopes. It is difficult to say who will win, although Mali leads with a solid margin, but based on the tournament situation and the needs of the teams, at least 1 goal of Mali can be expected. And most likely, even more.
Prediction for the match: Mali to score over 1.0 goal
