Gambia have named a strong lineup as they prepare to battle for all three points against Madagascar. Both teams find themselves in desperate need of a win, each sitting on just two points after three matches. With their hopes of qualification hanging by a thread, this clash promises to be a fierce contest.
Gambia’s lineup sees Janju between the posts, with a backline composed of Barrow, Colley, Gomez, and Touray. The midfield is anchored by Mammeh and Adams, while Fadera, Sowe, Minteh, and Ceesay lead the charge up front, hoping to unlock Madagascar’s defense and secure their first victory of the campaign.
Madagascar, equally determined to keep their qualification chances alive, have also fielded a solid side. Laiton starts in goal, with a defensive quartet of Rabemanantsoa, Demoleon, Boto, and Sandro. The midfield battle will be crucial, with Raveloson, Amada, and Raheriniaina pulling the strings. Up front, Ponti, Couturier, and Caddy will look to test Gambia’s defense and break the deadlock.
Their first encounter ended in a draw, leaving both teams frustrated but hungry for a win. With this match taking place at the Stade Ben Ahmed Abdi in Morocco, the stakes could not be higher. Both sides know that failure to secure victory here could signal the end of their slim hopes of progressing further in the competition. As the whistle blows, all eyes will be on this crucial showdown.
