Mozambique vs Malawi prediction, preview, team news and more | 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers
Mozambique and Malawi are set to square off at the Stade de l'Amitie in Benin in their last FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifying fixture on Tuesday.
Neither team have been able to hit form in their previous outings as Mozambique have failed to record a single win in their qualifying campaign so far, with Malawi having just one win to their name.
Mozambique suffered a 3-0 loss against Group D leaders Ivory Coast on Sunday while Malawi were hammered 4-0 at home by Cameroon. Both teams will be looking to conclude their campaigns on a good note, so we expect them to have a strong outing here.
