Malawi vs Comoros Prediction and Betting Tips | July 11, 2023

Malawi and Comoros lock horns at the Chatsworth Stadium in the final round of Group B games at the 2023 COSAFA Cup on Tuesday (July 11).

The Flames maintained their 100% record in the tournament, edging Seychelles 2-0 on Sunday courtesy of second-half goals from Lanjesi Nkhoma and Christopher Kumwembe.

Before that, Patrick Mabedi’s men picked up a 1-0 win over Zambia in Thursday’s curtain-raiser, thanks to a first-half own goal from veteran defender Aaron Katebe.

Malawi, meanwhile, head into the game knowing that they will book their spot in the knockouts should they avoid defeat, as they hold a three-point lead atop Group B.

Comoros kicked off their COSAFA Cup campaign with a resounding 3-0 win over Seychelles in the group opener on July 6. Younes Zerdouk’s side were sent crashing back to earth on Sunday, as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against Zambia at the King Zwelithini Stadium.

However, victory on Tuesday will see Comoros finish as Group B winners and help them leapfrog Malawin into the the knockouts.

Given the stakes involved, expect a cagey affair as both sides look to reach the knockouts. Needing at least a draw to clinch top spot, Malawi could take a cautious approach and hold on for a share of the spoils.
