Malawi will face Senegal at the Bingu National Stadium on Tuesday in another round of their 2025 Africa Cup on Nations qualification clash. The home side have endured a near-disastrous start to their qualifying campaign and are in danger of missing out on yet another AFCON as they sit rock bottom in Group L with zero points.

They kicked off their group-stage run with a 3-2 defeat to Burundi before losing 3-1 to Burkina Faso days later. Malawi then locked horns with Senegal on matchday three of the qualifiers and were beaten 4-0, starting the game on the backfoot before a red card to Brighton Munthali after just 16 minutes all but scuppered their chances of a favorable outcome on the road.

Senegal, meanwhile, played out a 1-1 draw against Burkina Faso in their group opener last month before beating Burundi 1-0 in their second group outing. They then coasted to a 4-0 victory over the Flames last time out, with four different players getting on the scoresheet including star forward Sadio Mane who netted his 45th international goal.


Malawi vs Senegal Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

  • There have been five meetings between Malawi and Senegal. The home side have won just one of those games while the visitors have won three times, with their final matchup ending in a draw.
  • The visitors are undefeated in their last four games in this fixture, a run dating back to 2007.
  • Malawi are without a clean sheet in their last eight games across all competitions.
  • The Lions of Teranga were ranked 21st in the latest FIFA rankings and now sit 112 places above their midweek opponents.

Malawi vs Senegal Prediction

Malawi are on a four-game losing streak and have now lost all but one of their last eight games across all competitions. They have lost four of their last five games on home soil and could struggle here.

Senegal on the other hand are on a run of back-to-back victories and are undefeated in their last seven games across all competitions. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams should see the visitors come out on top this week.

Prediction: Malawi 0-3 Senegal
