Our prediction is: Mali win or draw

Our top betting tip is Mali to win or draw on the Double Chance market. What that means is Mali, the home team, must win or draw for the bet to win, and we feel strongly that the match will end in one of those two outcomes.

We simply don't see Mali losing to Zambia. More than the gulf in quality between the two sides which is clear to see in the statistics, we also have a lot of belief in Mali's ability to make home advantage count in this match.
