Malawi vs Zambia Prediction: Zambia expected to win here

The International Friendly match between Malawi and Zambia is scheduled to occur at Bingu National Stadium. Both teams are currently facing challenges and will be seeking positive outcomes from this encounter. Let's delve into a preview of this match and make some predictions.

Malawi

Malawi suffered a significant setback in their previous competitive fixture, succumbing to a 0-4 defeat against Kenya. This loss marked their second consecutive defeat, the first being against Tunisia in the World Cup qualifier. However, amidst this challenging run, Malawi managed to secure a victory against Liberia, clinching a narrow 0-1 win. Additionally, they held Guinea to a 2-2 draw. Over their last five matches, Malawi have conceded in three out of four games, allowing a total of 7 goals while scoring three themselves.

Zambia

Zambia's recent performance against Zimbabwe ended in disappointment, and as they approach this match, they will be eager for a more favorable outcome. Despite initially taking the lead in the 5th minute through Stoppila Sunzu's goal and later going 2-0 up with Clatous Chama's strike in the 24th minute, Zambia's defense faltered, leading to two goals conceded before halftime. Furthermore, their penalty shootout saw them fall short, resulting in a 5-6 loss. As they prepare for their upcoming fixture, Zambia finds themselves without a win in their last six matches, having lost three and drawn three.

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams are currently underperforming, but we can anticipate an improved display from both sides as they strive to reverse their fortunes. Despite Malawi's commendable performance in their recent encounter against Zambia, the latter boasts a superior quality of players and level of play. Nevertheless, considering their previous matchups, which often resulted in low-scoring affairs, Zambia holds a slight advantage as the visiting team. Therefore, it wouldn't be surprising if this match ends with a narrow 0-1 victory in favor of Zambia.
