Wednesday 001 Africa Cup of Nations Tunisia vs Mali
Tunisia is a strong team from North Africa, currently ranked 30th in the world, the team has been able to break into the African Cup of Nations 20 times, during which it won the championship in the African Cup of Nations in 2004, the past three African Cups of Nations at least ranked among the top eight, the last African Cup of Nations in the semi-final stage lost to Senegal to achieve the fourth place, this campaign is basically no different from the last African Cup of Nations, the players are relatively more tacit, but the team's tactical style is conservative, only 3 games in the past 10 games have more than 2 goals.
Mali is currently ranked 57th in the world, and the team's results in the African Cup of Nations in recent years have not been good, with the peak result achieved during the period was only group qualification, and it was eliminated in the group stage of the two African Cup of Nations competitions from 2015 to 2017. The team's paper strength is not bad, most of the players in the squad play in the French league, but the team's front strength is insufficient, the front general Marega was not selected this time, and the rest of the forward players are not the main force although they play in the five major leagues, and the accumulation of experience in the competition is relatively lacking.
Tunisia is located in North Africa, that is, similar to the geographical location of Egypt and other countries, the playing style of these countries is more European, the team's tactical literacy is more prominent, which is also the main reason why Tunisia's paper strength is average but in recent years, the African Cup of Nations has achieved good results, on the contrary, Mali although the paper strength is more prominent, but the tactical literacy is average, coupled with the lack of team front strength, this campaign personally believes that Tunisia is expected to win the battle.
Wednesday 002 Super Cup Barcelona vs Real Madrid
Barcelona's performance this season is obvious to all, since Messi left the team's overall state has declined significantly, but in the past 5 games to achieve 3 wins and 2 draws, but the opponents faced during the period are lower level and league strength in the middle and lower positions of the team, the recent achievements are not high. After entering 2022, Barca suffered a double attack of injury and new crown, but dePay, Busquets, Alves and Fati returned from injury to enter the super cup list.
Real Madrid under the leadership of Ancelotti this season, the team's internal potential has been tapped, Benzema has taken the lead in the top scorer list in the second spring, young winnietheos has made great progress, there are currently 12 goals in the account, coupled with the ceremony midfield composed of Kroos, Modric and Casemiro, the team's front court is running well, but after Ramos and Varane both left the team, new signings Alaba and Brazilian centre-back Militan still have the problem of lack of tacit understanding, and have conceded goals in the past 4 matches.
The two sides have won all the last four meetings between Real Madrid, the overall strength of Barca this season has declined significantly, and Xavi continues to reuse young players, and the offensive end is lacking a stable scoring point, although just signed Torres is expected to play, but there are still run-in problems between the players. Real Madrid's current state is more stable than that, the main problem is still in the back line, considering the historical confrontation between Real Madrid has the upper hand, this campaign personally believes that Real Madrid is expected to successfully qualify.
