Morocco – Mali. Forecast and announcement for the 2025 African Cup of Nations match

On December 26, the match of the 2nd round of the Africa Cup of Nations group stage will be held at the Prince Mouly Abdullah Stadium, in which the national teams of Morocco and Mali will play. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Morocco

The team faces an unexpected challenge. They can simply be fed up with trophies – especially their leader, Hakimi, who also won a lot of trophies with PSG. And here, even in the form of the national team, it was possible to set an all-Africa record at the last World Cup, and only in the last six months to achieve victories at the African Nations Championship and, in December, the Arab Cup, as well as confidently win its group in the qualification.

However, the CAN is held in the country, and, of course, it excites and adds motivation. And, at least, it was possible to avoid problems in the opening match. Yes, there was an outsider in the opponents, the Comoros Islands. But despite the fact that Raimi did not score an early penalty, as a result it turned out to be a sure 2:0.

Small

The national team has never been quoted either as an outsider or as a giant in African football. So, in the year that is ending, they showed themselves as mediocrity. They were not allowed to the championship by Mauritania, which won the match in December – 0:1 and 0:0. And then they finished the selection with five wins and eighteen points, narrowly losing second place in the group to modest Madagascar.

But I still managed to go to the Cannes Film Festival again. Even there, in the first match, the opponents were the same middle-aged country, Zambia. She managed to score first, in the middle of the second half. But in the end, they missed, perhaps, the most dangerous among the opponents, Daku. And Patson made the final 1:1 in the 92nd minute.

Statistics of personal meetings

The first face-to-face matches, at the beginning of the century, were for Mali. But then the balance of power evened out, and in the last four face-to-face matches, the Moroccans won three times with one draw – 0:0 on the road.
