Tunisia will lock horns with Mali on Tuesday

Tunisia play Mali in an international friendly scheduled to take place at the Estadio Olympique de Rades on Tuesday.

Tunisia lost their last game to North African rivals Algeria, going down 2-0. Goals from Manchester City forward Riyad Mahrez and Al Sadd striker Baghdad Bounejah handed Algeria a comfortable win, while Tunisia were unable to get on the scoresheet.

Meanwhile, Mali are coming off a 1-1 draw with DR Congo. Les Aigles are going through a poor spell of form as they are winless in their last four games.

They have lost three and drawn one of those games, and manager Mohamed Magassouba will want to get his team back on the winning track.


Tunisia vs Mali Head-to-Head

Mali and Tunisia have played 10 games against each other so far. Tunisia have won five matches, while Mali have managed to emerge victorious in four games. One game ended in a draw.

The last game between the two sides took place back in June 2019. The match ended 1-1, with Wahbi Khazri's 70th-minute goal canceling out Mali's Diadie Samassekou's 60th-minute effort.
