THE PREDICTION

Burkina Faso’s run of five successive appearances at the AFCON finals ended when they failed to qualify for the 2019 tournament and they are very much determined not to suffer the same fate again. Four points from their opening two matches in this group last November represents a solid start to the campaign and they are targeting at least four points from this double-header of matches against Malawi. The visitors are aiming to make it through to the finals for the first time since 2010, they face a difficult task though, as they are the third-ranked team in this section and they don’t look to have enough quality to achieve a top two finish. A lack of goal-threat is a big problem for Malawi, they have not scored more than one goal in any of their last eight fixtures - this includes no goal scored in any of their last three games. Their chances of registering on the scoresheet don’t look good here either as the hosts have kept five clean sheets in their last six home games. A win to nil for Burkina Faso is the betting tip for this match.
