Mali are set to host The Gambia in their decisive 2018 CHAN qualifiers return leg clash slated for tomorrow, Saturday 22 July 2017 in Bamako.

The home-Scorpions need only a score draw or win against Mali tomorrow to progress to the second round of the qualifiers after their goalless draw with the local-based Eagles in the first-leg tie played in Banjul at the weekend.

But a defeat against Mali will see The Gambia out of the qualifiers and Mali through to the second round of the qualifiers.

A goalless draw will send the game into a spot-kick and the winner in the shootout will advance to the second round of the qualifiers following their goalless draw in the first-leg encounter played in Banjul at the weekend.
