LIVE UPDATES: Mali vs Tunisia (2019 AFCON)

The Tricolors in a jubilant mood The Tricolors in a jubilant mood

After yesterday’s round of exciting games, we come your way another set of interesting games.

We have the Herve Renard derby between Ivory Coast and Morocco 5pm and also the Southern Africa derby between South Africa and Namibia at 8 pm.

Before those two games is a West versus North Africa encounter between Mali and Tunisia at the Suez Stadium.

With a win today, Mali will join Nigeria, Algeria and Egypt as the fourth nation to make it to the last 16 of the tournament.

They recorded the biggest win in the first round, thumping Mauritania 4-1.

Tunisia, one of the tournament’s favourites struggled to pick a point against Angola last Monday and today could prove another difficult test for the North Africans.

The stakes are high for Tunisia who must win or at least draw to keep their tournament on track.

Mali and Tunisia have met once in the AFCON and it ended 2-0 in favour of the West Africans and that could be a motivating factor this afternoon.

There are no fresh injury news or suspensions to both side so we are expecting a line up of the best players this afternoon.
