Gambia and Mali meet for the second time in four days on Tuesday for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, this time at the Stade Mohamed V in neutral Casablanca, Morocco.
Their clash last week ended in a 2-0 win for Mali, as goals from Kamory Doumbia and Adama Traore gave the Eagles all three points in Bamako.
They remain first in Group G with nine points in three games, having maintained a 100% win record in the qualifying campaign so far.
Gambia are at the bottom with three points and could see their chances of reaching the Ivory Coast showpiece dimish further with another loss here.
Malian head coach Éric Chelle might be tempted to field the same XI, but there are some good options off the bench too, such as Moussa Doumbia and Moussa Djenepo.
Kamory Doumbia, however, should be able to retain his place in the XI after scoring just three minutes into his international debut for the Eagles.
As for Gambia, veteran defender Omar Colley could surpass Pa Modou Jagne as the nation's all-time highest appearance-maker with his 44th cap.
