Sports Mole previews Monday’s Africa Cup of Nations Qualifier between Gambia and Madagascar, including predictions, team news, and lineups.
Gambia and Madagascar meet again in Group A after a 1-1 draw just days ago. Gambia dominated the first match but needed a stoppage-time goal from Yankuba Minteh to salvage a point after Clement Couturier’s opener for Madagascar.
Gambia must win to avoid needing victories in their final two matches, while Madagascar has been resilient but prone to losing leads. Both teams are expected to make tactical adjustments, with Gambia’s Minteh and Madagascar’s Marco Ilaimaharitra likely to start.
Predicted lineups:
Gambia: Jarju; Ceesay, Gomez, Colley, Touray; Khan, Adams, Sowe, Jallow, Minteh; Barrow
Madagascar: Laiton; Rabemanantsoa, Demoleon, Fontaine, Boto; Raveloson, Amada, Couturier, Ilaimaharitra; Caddy, Ponti
Prediction: Another draw looks likely.
