Tunisia will lock horns against Mali at the Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium in their second group-stage match of the Africa Cup of Nations 2023 (AFCON) on Saturday.

Tunisia, the 2004 champions, had a slow start to their campaign as they fell to a 1-0 loss to Namibia. They suffered an early blow in that match as striker Taha Yassine Khenissi was subbed off in the 15th minute with a knee injury. Deon Kavendji scored the only goal of the match in the 88th minute to earn Namibia's first win at the AFCON finals.


Mali are making their ninth consecutive appearance at the AFCON finals and got their campaign underway with a 2-0 win over South Africa. Captain Hamari Traoré led from the front and opened the scoring in the 60th minute. Lassine Sinayoko got in on the action and doubled his side's lead in the 66th minute.

A win will ensure Mali's place in the knockout round. Tunisia also need a win in this match to keep their qualification hopes alive, as they meet 1996 champions South Africa in their final match of the group stage, which might be a close game.

Tunisia for the win.
