vs Prediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Malawi and South Sudan also have no league table in this round of Africa Cup of Nations qualifying. Over their last five outings Malawi have taken one win, two draws and two defeats: the most recent game was a 1-1 away draw at Ethiopia; before that a 0-1 away defeat, again at Ethiopia, another 0-1 away defeat at Botswana, a 0-0 away draw at Zambia U23 and, further back, a 1-0 away win over Lesotho. South Sudan arrive instead from a 0-1 home defeat against Djibouti; before that a 4-0 away win, again over Djibouti, a 0-2 away defeat at Syria, a 0-0 home draw against Togo and, further back, a heavy 0-5 home defeat against Senegal. Over their last five games the record is one win, one draw and three defeats. In the head to head Malawi have won two of the last three meetings, with a single South Sudan win: the most recent meeting, played at South Sudan's ground, finished 1-0 to Malawi. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
