France U20 will face Mali U20 in their second group stage match at the 2025 Maurice Revello Tournament (Toulon Tournament) on Friday at Parc des Sports in Avignon. Both teams are looking to build momentum after mixed starts to the tournament.
France began their campaign with a 2-1 win over Saudi Arabia. This result puts France near the top of Group A and in a strong position to advance, especially as they are tournament hosts and have a tradition of success at this level.
Mali, meanwhile, suffered a 2-1 defeat to Panama in their opener. Mali’s squad is known for its physicality and defensive organization, but they struggled to contain Panama’s attack in key moments.
This fixture is crucial for both teams’ hopes of progressing from the group. France will look to secure qualification with another win, while Mali need at least a point to keep their hopes alive after their opening loss. Expect a competitive and high-quality encounter, with France slightly favored to prevail on home soil.
