Liberia vs Malawi - Preview & Predictions | 2026 FIFA World Cup Qualifying (CAF)

KEY STATS

·        The only previous two competitive matches between these two nations were in FIFA World Cup qualifying in 1989. Liberia won 1-0 at home, the return fixture in Malawi finished goalless.

·        Liberia have lost only two of their last nine FIFA World Cup qualifying matches in Liberia (W2 D5).

Malawi have lost their last four FIFA World Cup qualifying matches. Since a 1-0 victory against Mozambique in September 2021.

THE PREDICTION

Ansumana Keita’s Liberian side are currently ranked 151^st in the world, according to FIFA, as they begin the CAF qualification campaign for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. Their 3-0 loss at the hands of Morocco last month means that they have now managed just one victory in their last 14 matches. They face a Malawi side that shared a 2-2 draw with Guinea a couple of months ago. They are by no means a strong side but will likely fancy their chances against a Liberia side that are going down in the rankings.

BETTING TIP: MALAWI TO WIN & UNDER 3.5 GOALS
