Mali and Ghana will meet in the final round of group-stage matches at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations on Thursday evening. The Black Queens have only lost one of their last six matches against The Female Eagles, and we feel they will avoid defeat here, as explained in our prediction below.
This is without doubt the headline fixture on Friday night in the WAFCON, as both these sides are level on three points. A draw would see Ghana progress due to a better goal difference of 1.
The Black Queens kicked off this competition with a 2-0 victory over Cape Verde, but they then suffered a 1-0 defeat to Cameroon this past weekend, which ended their seven-match unbeaten run.
That last result was also the first time that Ghana conceded a goal in 2026 and was only the third goal they allowed since July 25 last year.
Meanwhile, after losing their opening match of the competition 2-1 to Cameroon, Mali bounced back to keep their knockout hopes alive with a 3-2 victory over now-eliminated Cape Verde on Sunday.
That marked the first time that the Female Eagles scored three goals in a match since May last year. They have now kept just one clean sheet in their last seven matches in all competitions.
Mali avoided defeat in their last two encounters against their upcoming opponents (W1 D1), but that win is the only one they’ve managed against the Black Queens in a competitive matchup.

Our Mali W vs Ghana W Prediction
Mali did exceptionally well to keep their hopes of qualifying for the knockout stage alive by beating Cape Verde in the last round, but that was just their first win in any competition since October last year.
Ghana fought valiantly and even recorded a higher xG in their defeat to Cameroon. However, the Black Queens’ defence has been incredible over the past year, and we fancy them to bounce back in this match. Our Mali W vs Ghana W prediction is Ghana W wins.
