Last edition's runners-up, Mali would look to bounce back from their opening game loss to Paraguay when they face Turkey in a Group B encounter of the FIFA U-17 World Cup here today. After conceding two goals, Mali fought back hard to level the scores 2-2 at the half-time in their game against Paraguay, but they eventually lost 2-3. Mali's defence is an area of concern and was widely exposed by Paraguay. But they have some strong attackers and coach Jonas Komla would surely expect his boys to learn from the mistakes they committed in their opening game.
