Mali aims for victory.
The ninth day of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers will see two teams looking for a win. Mali will play against Chad on Wednesday, October 8th, at 4 p.m.
Mali has missed the chance for direct qualification to the final tournament, and they are not considered the favorites. However, with Yves Bissouma and Aïdarra back, the Belgian coach will likely stick with Aliou Dieng and Kamory Doumbia.
Here is the expected lineup for Mali.
Goalkeeper : Djigui Diarra
Defenders : Fodé Doucouré – Abdoulaye Diaby – Sikou Niakaté – Amadou Danté
Midfielders : Aliou Dieng – Mamadou Sangaré – Kamory Doumbia
Forwards : Lassine Sinayoko – El Bilal Touré – Néné Dorgelès
