Our Prediction for the Malawi vs Namibia Match
The team from Malawi reached the Africa Cup of Nations in 2021 for only the third time in its history, and for the first time advanced to the playoffs. However, last year they could not make it to the list of participants. But now they are successfully playing in African qualifiers - in March they defeated the Comoros Islands twice. Namibia, on the other hand, played in 2024 and even managed to reach the playoffs from a very tough group (defeating Tunisia and drawing 0-0 with Mali while losing 0-4 to South Africa), but then lost 0-3 to Angola. They failed to qualify for further continental tournaments. For instance, Lesotho blocked their way to the African Nations Championship.
In the qualification, Pasuwa's charges alternate between victories and defeats. They were stronger than Liberia and São Tomé and Príncipe. But they lost to both Tunisia and Equatorial Guinea. The Namibians had a strong start. They consecutively defeated Equatorial Guinea and São Tomé and Príncipe. Then they drew in June matches against Tunisia and Liberia, allowing them to stay among the leaders.
Malawian players, on average, score a goal per match. But they concede almost twice as many. However, the visitors are not much better, with their matches being duller - the ratio is 0.7/1.4
