Ivory Coast - Mali 3:0 Under 2.5

Mali’s big chance. After they drew 0-0 with Nigeria now Mali has its it fait in its own hands, and a draw here is more than enough to secure qualification. This is the reason why odds are priced really low on the draw and lwo on the under bet. Two big blows for the Mali squad. Their best defensive midfielders, Mamadou Diarra and Mohamed Sissoko are unavailable and it gives this match a totally different perspective, as if Mali can continue producing those good defensive displays without them, and my guess is that they won’t.

Ivory Coast-Mali 3:0 Under 2.5

As everybody is thinking for this match that will be a draw I agree also.But I don’t like to bet on draw so I decided to took under on this game because it looks like a nice bet from me.Ivory Coast beat Benin 4-1 but that match is questionable as benin is one of the weakest teams in AFC.In first match against Nigeria they won 1-0 and show how will they play against stronger teams.They are very solid in defense and Mali will have much problems overtaking them to score.Also Mali is very strong in defense and they didn’t concede single goal so far and score only one.It is also known that draw in this match will put Ivory Coast on 1st place and send Mali to next round and that is main goals for these teams.Because of the friendly relationship between these two countries iexpect a draw and low number of goals.
