The national team of Mali seems to be doing chores as, one game before the end of the groups, Alain Zires = s team has already secured the ticket for the final phase, either as the first (which is now) or as the second (if it loses) in the special rating has a safety difference from the other second. Seidu Keita recently left the national team, while as the coach said, there are several injured but also "busy" with their (European) teams !!
For Benin, the beans are counted: Whether it wins and secures the ticket as the first of the group, either snips a grade and waits on its handset to see what the other groups of the other groups will do. There is a strong chance of qualifying in the second scenario, which is why I put a little X in my choice.
