TUNISIA
Tunisia comes into this event as one of the pre-tournament dark horses, priced up at 20.0 odds and 10th favourites despite finishing fourth at AFCON 2019 having lost to Nigeria in the third-place playoff. They have won 5 and lost 2 of their last 7 including that extra-time loss to Algeria in the Arab Cup final.
While Tunisia have struggled for success at the Africa Cup of Nations, claiming the crown just once in their history, they are one of the represented nations at the tournament and will be making a 15th consecutive appearance this year.
MALI
Mali must have one of the strongest groups of midfielders in the tournament with Yves Bissouma now back in the fold and the likes of Mohamed Camara (present in the Champions League with RB Salzburg), and RB Leipzig’s Amadou Haidara also fighting for game-time.
Mali have sent a strong group to Cameroon for this edition of AFCON by loosing only once in the qualification group, and can underline their potential in this first fixture of the AFCON group F.
Moreover, Mohamed Magassouba’s men have lost only one competitive senior match in the last two and a half years and only two of their last 11 AFCON games.

Our Tunisia vs. Mali betting Tips
Tunisia and Mali head into Wednesday’s game as two of the most in-form nations at the tournament and this makes for an exciting and riveting watch. Another tight contest seems likely with the opening fixture of group F and a repeat of the 1-1 draw these sides played out at the same stage in 2019 looks like a good starting point in the correct score market.
Also, considering the depth of quality defensive squads both sides have, Tunisia have seen the under 2.5 outcome in 4 of their last 5 fixtures while Mali have seen the same under 2.5 goals scored in 7 of their last 9 matches. Hence, for another today betting tip, we anticipate Under 2.5 Goals @ 1.78 with Sahara Games.
