Bisnis.com, SOLO – Match Canada vs. Mali will take place at the end of group B U-17 World Cup 2023. Score Prediction favored the victory of Mali,
The Canadian U-17 national team will face Mali in the third day of Group B of the 2023 U-17 World Cup at the Gelora Bung Tomo Stadium, Surabaya, Thursday (16/11/2023) afternoon WIB.
Canada suffered two defeats at the 2023 U-17 World Cup, notably against Spain (0-2) and Uzbekistan (0-3).
These results place Canada in last place with zero points and a goal difference of -5. Canada’s chances of qualifying for the round of 16 are very low.
Canada needs to win with a big score against Mali, while hoping that Uzbekistan loses to Spain in the other match.
In this scenario, it is not impossible for Canada to immediately move into second place and overtake Mali and Uzbekistan.
Canada U-17 coach Andrew Olivieri remains optimistic about his team’s chances of qualifying for the round of 16.
“We have a lot of hope, we hope to beat Mali, to advance to the next round,” Andrew Olivieri said.
Despite this, Andrew hopes his players will not be burdened by the winning goal. Because it can affect the player’s concentration on the field.
On the other hand, Mali is in a relatively superior situation. This African team won 3-0 against Uzbekistan before losing 0-1 to Spain.
Mali will qualify for the round of 16 if they get at least a draw against Canada and in the other match, Uzbekistan loses against Spain.
However, Mali had to lose their main bomber, Mamadou Doumbia, who received a red card against Spain.
Doumbia is the top scorer for the Mali national team with 3 goals thanks to a hat-trick against Uzbekistan in the first match.
Even without Doumbia, Mali still have a number of other dangerous players like Ange Martial Tia, Ibrahim Diarra and Ibrahim Kanate.
