Match preview

This year, Malawi has participated in several matches. In three World Cup qualifying games, the Flames lost to Namibia (0-1) and Tunisia (0-2) but secured a victory against Namibia (2-1) away. They also played in the COSAFA Cup, earning only one point from three matches, with losses to Lesotho and Angola while failing to score. Currently, Malawi has nine points in the World Cup qualifiers, three points behind second place.

The Flames prefer a cautious, defensive strategy, particularly when playing away. Their offense tends to be predictable, leading to few chances and inconsistent finishing. At home, they are more aggressive, focusing on set pieces and effective runs on the flanks.

For Liberia, their activity this year has been limited to World Cup qualifiers. They have played three matches so far, including a home loss to Tunisia (0-1), a win against São Tomé and Príncipe (2-1), and another loss to Tunisia (0-3). After seven rounds, Liberia holds third place in the group with ten points, just two shy of second place.

Under coach Thomas Kojo, Liberia plays a disciplined game, with a strong focus on organization. Their attack is pragmatic, relying on counterattacks, while maintaining a solid defense. Though lacking in offensive power, they excel in teamwork and set-piece strategies.
