Supporters in Italy, Germany, France and Spain can catch the action live at 14:00 CEST, while UK audiences should tune in at 13:00 BST to follow every moment.
This match represents a valuable opportunity for both sides to showcase their tactical approaches and squad depth ahead of major youth tournaments later in the summer. With everything to play for, the stage is set for a tactical battle between two technically gifted teams.
Come si presentano le due squadre?
Saudi Arabia U23 have shown a solid defensive record in recent age-group fixtures, often relying on quick transitions and disciplined shape to frustrate opponents. Their recent clean sheets in qualifiers have built confidence at the back, though questions remain about their cutting edge in the final third.
On the other hand, Mali U20 arrive with a reputation for flair and fluid attacking play. They impressed in regional tournaments with a free-flowing approach, creating chances through intricate passing and dribbling. However, their defensive consistency has sometimes been vulnerable against organised opponents.
La nostra previsione
We expect a tight opening period as both sides probe each other’s weaknesses. Saudi Arabia’s structured defence could well stifle Mali’s creative outlets, making this a contest of patience and tactical discipline rather than end-to-end thrills.
Given the contrasting styles, our lean is towards a low-scoring draw or a narrow win for Saudi Arabia U23. A scoreline around 1-0 or 1-1 seems most likely, with both teams finding it difficult to break the deadlock until late on.
