Mali and Comoros will battle for three points in a 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier on Thursday (September 4th). The game will be played at Stade du 26 Mars.

The home side will be back in action for the first time since falling to a 1-0 defeat to DR Congo in a friendly in June 2025. Samuel Essende broke the deadlock in the 27th minute and his goal proved to be the difference between the two sides.

The Eagles will turn their focus to the World Cup qualifiers, where their last game saw them play out a goalless draw away to the Central African Republic.

Mali vs Comoros Prediction

Mali have never qualified for the FIFA World Cup and their hopes of making a debut at the Mundial are likely to extend to 2030. They are currently six points off the summit with just four games left and have little margin for error.

Comoros have witnessed the best era of their international history in the last few years. They made their debut at the AFCON in the 2021 edition and are pushing Ghana all the way in the race to qualify for the World Cup. They are three points off the Black Stars and will be aiming to claim maximum points here to keep pace with the West Africans.

We are backing the home side to claim a narrow victory and clean sheet.

Prediction: Mali 1-0 Comoros
