Ghana Women and Mali Women will battle for three points in a 2024 CAF Women's Africa Cup of Nations clash on Friday (July 11th). The game will be played at Stade Municipal de Berkane.
The Black Queens began their tournament with a disappointing 2-0 defeat to South Africa. Linda Motihalo broke the deadlock from the spot in the 28th minute while Jermaine Seoposenwe doubled Banyana Banyana's lead six minutes later.
Mali, meanwhile, claimed maximum points with a narrow 1-0 victory over Tanzania. Saratou Traore's goal in first-half injury time proved to be the difference between the two sides.
The victory left them joint-top of Group C, level on points with South Africa. Ghana are bottom on zero points.

Ghana Women vs Mali Women Prediction
Ghana would have been disappointed not to have gotten something from their tournament opener. They held their own for most of the game and a two-goal defeat was not representative of their efforts. The West Africans were blunt in attack and have to be better here. The Black Queens were once one of the most dominant sides in this tournament but have struggled in recent years. This is their first appearance since 2018. Furthermore, they have been eliminated in the group stage in four of their last five appearances and a loss here could see this trend continue.
Mali were largely outplayed by Tanzania, conceding 15 shots, of which five were on target. However, they held on defensively to claim all three points and another win here would leave them on the cusp of advancing to the knockout rounds.
We expect the two sides to share the spoils in a low-scoring stalemate.
