Three important points are up for grabs in the 2023 African Nations Championship on Monday afternoon when Mali and Angola go head-to-head at the Olympic Stadium. Both teams will be keen to make a winning start to life in Group D, where they will battle with Mauritania for a place in the knockout stages of the competition.
Mali were held to a goalless stalemate against Tunisian side Chebba on Friday afternoon in their concluding warm-up fixture at the Nelson Mandela Stadium. Nouhoum Diane’s men saw their struggles in front of goal continue but also put on a solid display at the other end, recording a third consecutive clean sheet.
Les Aigles have now stretched their unbeaten run across all competitions to four games either side of the new year since suffering a 4-0 defeat to Algeria in October. Next up is the challenge of an opposing outfit who are yet to emerge victorious in any of the previous three meetings between the teams, losing two of them.
Match Details:

Mali vs Angola Prediction
At the moment, the bookies are keeping both teams quite close in terms of the role of favorites in this match of the 1st round. Mali may have a slight advantage because they had two test matches (which both by the way were finished with 2 or fewer goals) so they are a little more prepared than their rivals. However, this type of duel can hardly bring too many scoring chances and loose games. We don’t expect more than one goal at the end of the match, under 2 goals, with exactly 2 goals being returned stake, is the best bet for this match.
