The second round of group-stage matches at the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations will conclude with Mali facing off against Cape Verde on Sunday evening. Both these sides were fairly poor in attack in their opening match, which sees us leaning toward a low-scoring affair as our main prediction in this one.
Mali earned a spot in the WAFCON as one of the highest-ranked non-qualifiers. Indeed, it was this very opponent that beat them 4-3 on aggregate in a thrilling two-legged encounter.
The Female Eagles put up a stern test against Cameroon in their opening match of this competition but lost 2-1. They recorded nine shots at goal and ended that match with 1.38 xG.
However, that defeat extended Mali’s winless run to six matches across all competitions. Their only victory in the last year came against this opponent in the first leg of their qualifying tie for this competition.
Meanwhile, Cape Verde’s debut on the continental stage did not go as they would have hoped, having lost to Ghana 2-0 in a lopsided encounter that the Black Queens completely dominated.
The Blue Sharks were only afforded 36% possession and recorded just one shot on target. They failed to register a single big chance in that match and ended with a mere 0.30 xG.
Since beating Mali in that six-goal qualifying match, Cape Verde have not scored a single goal in their last five games but have conceded 13.

Our Mali W vs Cape Verde W Prediction
Since qualifying for the 2026 WAFCON, Cape Verde’s attacking output has been virtually non-existent. They’ve now failed to score a single goal in five games and only recorded 0.30 xG in their tournament opener last week.
Mali managed to notch up a goal in their first match of the competition, but they have been firing hot and cold in recent times, having failed to find the net in two of their three matches leading up to the tournament. Therefore, our Mali W vs Cape Verde W prediction is under 3.5 goals.
