Angola - Mali

Third and final fixture in the African Cup of Nations Group Stage round. Both teams are still fighting for the playoffs. Mali are in a better position right now because a draw is enough for them no matter the result in the Tunisia vs Mauritania game. Meanwhile, Angola can also advance with a draw but would need Tunisia to lose which isn't a very realistic scenario, therefore Angola will likely need to win the game. I think we'll see a tough battle with some dirty moments. Neither team have their defenders in danger of being suspended for accumulative bookings so I don't think that the teams will play it safe given the magnitude of the game. Angola on average make 18.5 fouls per game and have 3 yellow cards in the tournament, while Mali average 15 fouls per game and have 5 total yellow cards. The referee of the match will be Morocco Redouane Jiyed, he refereed in one game and blew for 47 fouls and 3 yellow cards so his average bookings per game i 3 in the tournament.

This evening, the game should be hot and full of emotions because a lot is on the line therefore I think we'll see a lot of bookings here.
Šįvakar turėtų būti karštos rungtynės nestokojančios emocijų, nes ant kortos stovi labai daug, todėl manau, kad kortlelių tikrai turėtų būti nemažai.
