Chad vs Mali: The Eagles aim for a crucial win
This Wednesday, Mali takes on Chad with a single goal in mind: to claim victory and stay in contention for a spot at the 2026 World Cup. The Eagles, currently fourth in Group I with 12 points, still have a shot at qualification.
On the other side, Chad is enduring a very tough campaign. With only one point from eight matches and already 19 goals conceded, the Sao sit at the bottom of the group. Their only bright spot remains the surprise draw against Ghana (1-1) back in September.

Mali, recently defeated by Ghana (1-0), are eager to bounce back and rediscover the attacking flair they showed against Comoros (3-0). Moussa Doumbia and his teammates know that any slip-up could jeopardize their World Cup dreams. The Eagles come in as favorites, but must be wary of a resilient Chad side.
