Malawi vs Senegal Live Stream, Predictions

📏 Form Guide

Malawi

LLLLLW

Malawi, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following the 2-1 Africa Cup of Nations victory against Zimbabwe.

In that game, Malawi managed 36% possession and 9 shots at goal with 2 of them on target. The only player to score for Malawi was Mhango (43', 58'). Zimbabwe got 12 shots on goal with 5 on target. Wadi (38') scored for Zimbabwe.

It has been seldom in recent times where Malawi haven’t conceded. The reality is that Malawi have seen their defence breached in 6 of their previous 6 games, leaking 12 goals in the process. That being said, we will just have to wait and see whether that trend might be sustained here in this game or not.

Senegal

WWDWWD 📈

In their previous fixture, Senegal drew 0-0 in the Africa Cup of Nations tie with Guinea.

In that game, Senegal had 49% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 2 on target. Guinea got 5 shots at goal with 1 of them on target.

A sequence of outstanding performances by the Senegal defensive players has seen the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 3 from their past 6 fixtures combined. During the same period of time, their own forwards have managed to score 11.

💡 Prediction

For this match, we think that Malawi have the ability to breach the defence of this Senegal lineup, but a single goal probably won’t be enough to avoid defeat.

We’re therefore expecting a close game with a 1-2 victory for Senegal after the 90. There looks to be little in this one.
