THE PREDICTION

Both of these nations are based in Turkey during this international window as they look to prepare for the return of the AFCON qualifiers next month. This will be the first time that either has played since last November and it is indeed the first game in charge for Ghana’s new manager Akonnor who was appointed all the way back in January. Akonnor can call upon Arsenal’s new signing Thomas Partey for this fixture, though he is without the trio of goalkeeper Richard Ofori, Jefferey Schlupp and Mohammed Kudus. Mali have assembled a strong squad even though they were dealt with the blow that Adam Traore opted to play for Spain. Recent games between Mali and Ghana have been close contests - six of their last seven meetings have contained two goals or less - and this encounter is tipped to follow suit. Under 2.5 goals is the recommended bet.
