Group A of the CAF Africa Cup of Nations brings together hosts Morocco, Comoros, and two teams in transition: Mali and Zambia. Mali boast quality, especially in midfield and defence, and while they can be overly structured at times, the presence of sharper attackers like Dorgeles Nene, Kamory Doumbia, and El Bilal Toure should give them a cutting edge. Zambia are entering a rebuild and, although there may be gradual improvement, they still seem limited and unlikely to trouble a disciplined Mali side.

Heres a detailed analysis and prediction for the Mali vs Zambia match in the Africa Cup of Nations 2025 Group A (played on 22 December 2025 at Stade Mohammed V, Casablanca): Team Form & Context Mali Mali enter as one of the more stable teams in Group A, going unbeaten in their last three matches (two wins, one draw) heading into this fixture. Historically, Mali have never lost an AFCON opening match, boasting 8 wins and 5 draws in prior openers. Zambia Zambia have struggled recently, with multiple defeats in their last fixtures and inconsistent form going into the tournament. They finished top of their AFCON qualifying group but have lost their last three matches and looked unconvincing. Head-to-Head Overall competitive H2H is fairly balanced with Mali slightly ahead in recent meetings and Zambia having historic wins. Prediction Main Prediction Mali win most expert previews and betting odds favor the Malian victory. Malis recent form and tournament history make them favorites.

Home team form: Mali (last 10 games) Mali are in strong home form and on a rising trend, winning 7, drawing 2 and losing 1 of their last 10 matches; theyve been scoring regularly and rarely conceding. The side averages around 2 goals per game while keeping numerous clean sheets, so momentum is clearly with Mali heading into this fixture. Given that balance of attacking output and defensive solidity, backing Mali to score more than once looks sensible. Away team form: Zambia (last 10 games) Zambia are on a clear declining run with 2 wins, 1 draw and 7 defeats in their last 10 matches; the trend points downward rather than improving. Their attack has struggled, scoring only 8 goals across those 10 games (0.8 per match) while the defence has conceded 15. With that low scoring output, a conservative goals projection for Zambia looks sensible.
