Interviewed on Algerian television, Echourouk TV, the coach of the Malian team thinks that: “Admittedly, it will be very difficult to beat Algeria on his field in Blida. The Greens are really overwhelming on their stadium which seems to bring them happiness for a long time. “

“We need to fill up in at home during the two next games against Rwanda and Benin in order to appear in pole position in the last match against Algeria.”

At the end of the third round of playoffs, Algeria and Mali share the chair of leader of their group with six points each.
