- Mali beat South Africa 2-0 on matchday one after an impressive showing.
- Tunisia meanwhile, slipped to a surprise 1-0 defeat to Namibia in their first Group E test

With momentum stacked in their favour, our first Tunisia vs Mali prediction recommends siding with Les Aigles.

Tunisia vs Mali Team News
Tunisia
Tunisia set themselves up in a 4-3-3 formation in their loss to Namibia on Tuesday and they are unlikely to mix things up tactically despite their defeat. Aissa Ladouni will be among those hoping to earn at start in the Tunisia XI.
Predicted Lineup for Tunisia: Said – Kechrida, Meriah, Talbi, Maaloul – Slimane, Skhiri, Romdhane – Achouri, Msakni, Khenissi
Mali
Mali were deployed in a 4-3-1-2 shape in their triumph over South Africa so expect a similar set-up against Tunisia. Kamory Doumbia played a key role in the pocket between midfield and attack on matchday one and the schemer could be one to watch again on Saturday.
Predicted Lineup for Mali: Diarra – Traore, Kouyate, Niakate, Sacko – Dieng, Bisouma, Haidara, Doumbia – Sinayoko, Koita
Confirmed lineups will appear here around 60 minutes before kickoff.

Player to Watch – Lassine Sinayoko
Lassine Sinayoko started his AFCON tournament with a bang and a goal against South Africa, and the 24-year-old attacker will be eager to maintain his momentum with another strike against Tunisia. Sinayoko plays his club football with Auxerre in France’s Ligue 2, where he has scored four times this term.
