The two sides have shown their strengths ahead of the match on Saturday. Tunisia are a defensive colossus, giving away few chances, while Mali are a potent attacking side. Based on expert soccer predictions, the midfield area will be important for the defensive and attacking phases of both sides.
E. Skhiri
The midfielder, who plays deepest in Tunisia’s midfield area, will be crucial offensively and defensively. Skhiri is the football pick to influence the game by shielding the defense and launching attacks from deep, especially in transitions.
Y. Bissouma
The box-to-box midfielder sets the tempo for Mali, especially in an attacking sense. His work rate allows him to break play and join in the attack. He is quintessentially box-to-box, underlining his significance to Mali’s approach on Saturday against Tunisia.
Tunisia’s 4-4-2 will be compact and pragmatic in its approach. They can keep the ball and circulate it in midfield. This formation can morph into 4-3-3 when they are on attack. This flexibility will hand them a platform to defend stoutly while retaining their attacking edge.
Mali’s 4-3-3 will be expansive, with Haidara sitting deep and Bissouma and Coulibaly pressing ahead to support Doumbia, Sissoko, and Traore in attack. The midfielders and fullbacks will be crucial in creating overloads and supplementing the attack.
