African Cup of Nations U20
This is the second game of the group B, obviously the strongest one with only West African teams wich mean, better football, much more technical and more sucess for most of them as we know the West African teams have always did very well in U20 World Cup, Ghana was the World champion in 2009 and Mali and Senegal were both semi-finalist in 2015. So in this group B where the two other teams are Senegal and Ghana you can't afford to lose points especially when you lost the first game and that's the case for both Mali and Burkina Faso... Both lost but were not ridiculous at all, Mali were even the most dangerous side against Senegal in my opinion.
There seems to be lot of defensive mistakes in this tournament, the teams doesn't looks really built for defending they seems much stronger upfront and more focused in attack, The Burkina's goalkeeper was really bad in the last game against Ghana, for sure i expect some other mistakes here especially as the Malian offensive power looks as good as the Ghanean one if not better.
Both Mali and Burkina Faso are the ones who scored the most goals during the Qualification stage (10 goals each) and now the both teams must look for points and for goals, they are are pointless and goaless so far, i expect an open game. My call is 3-1 for Mali.
