Guinea Bissau vs Mali prediction 14.10.2024 | Africa Cup of Nations

• Competition: Africa Cup of Nations qualifications
• Date: Monday, 14th October 2024
• Kickoff: 17:00 UK / 18:00 CEST
• Venue: Estádio 24 de Setembro (Bissau)

Guinea Bissau became a regular at the Africa Cup of Nations after playing at the previous four tournaments. Interestingly, those are the only appearances in history at the African continental championship. Guinea Bissau started qualifications with a win against Eswatini, but after three rounds, those remain only points for Luis Boa Morte's team. If Guinea Bissau loses again on Monday, they could be in big problems about qualifying for the main tournament. 

Mali are still without a title at the Africa Cup of Nations, but with four semifinals in the 21st century, they are surely one of the most respectful teams in the continent. With seven points from the first three rounds, Mali are very close to qualifying for the tournament that will be held in Morocco next year. Tom Saintfiet's team has been in good form recently, as they didn't lose any of the previous four matches. 

Guinea Bissau and Mali met on Friday in Bamako and the home team won 1-0. Mali had 11 shots on the goal, more than the opponent, but lack of efficiency, once again, could cost them points. Luckily, Mali found the net once and picked up all three points. 

Guinea Bissau vs Mali pick: Under 2.5 goals

Both these teams have problems with efficiency. Guinea Bissau scored only four goals in the last five matches. On the other hand, Mali scored three goals in the previous four games. We should expect another low-scoring game on Monday between Guinea Bissau and
