Namibia vs Mali team news
Namibia
After opening the tournament with an impressive win over Tunisia, Namibia couldn't back that up against South Africa and they've lost that match 4-0. Despite that, Namibia still have a chance to get to the next stage and even a draw against Mali would secure them a place there, at least as one of the top third-placed teams. Namibia enter this game with a clean bill of health.
Predicted Lineup: Kazapua – Nyambe, Amutenya, Haukongo, Hanuman – Petrus, Iimbondi, Tijueza, Shitembi, Hotto – Shalulile
Mali
It has been a good tournament for Mali so far, as the team notched a win over South Africa and a draw with Tunisia. These results have already secured Mali a place in the knockout stages, but a win against Namibia would ensure they finish at the top of the group. Just like their next opponent, Mali have no injury issues to worry about.
Predicted Lineup: Diarra – Traore, Kouyate, Niakate, Sacko – Bissouma, Dieng, Haidara – Doumbia – Koita, Sinayoko
Confirmed Namibia vs Mali lineups will appear here around 60 minutes before kickoff.
