Madagascar will host Rwanda at the Mahamasina Municipal Stadium on Monday in a friendly clash between the two teams.
The home side have had a mixed start to their World Cup qualifying campaign and will be looking to build momentum before returning to the competition in June. They beat Burundi 1-0 in a friendly clash last time out, with Tendry Manovo Mataniah scoring the sole goal of the game in the opening 20 minutes.
Madagascar will be looking to round up their international break on a high before making their return to competitive action against Comoros in June.
