Malawi vs Liberia Prediction: A draw is possible in this clash

Malawi vs Liberia: Prediction and odds on the Match on 08 September 2025

Malawi will settle scores with Liberia at the Bingu National Stadium on Monday, with both sides fighting for a second-place finish in Group H. How will this game unfold? Below is a match preview and well-analyzed betting opportunities.

Malawi: form and statistics

Malawi restored their slim hope of making it into the 2026 FIFA World Cup with a 2-1 win over Namibia on the road. Richard Mbulu opened the scoring just five minutes into the game before Gabadinho Mhango made it 2-0 in the 53rd minute. Although Namibia tried to mount a comeback but it was too late after they got a consolation in the 86th minute. The victory was the first win for the Flames after going five straight games without a win in all competitions. They haven’t had it good at home, losing their last games to Namibia in front of their home fans. They have now lost their last three home games in all competitions. At the moment, Malawi sit 5th on the table with nine points in seven games, scoring six goals and conceding seven. With nine points left to fight for in the group, they are out of the automatic ticket, but they can miraculously make it as one of the best second if they improve their games and get all maximum points in their remaining games. Can they be possible? I doubt.

Malawi: Team News and Lineup

William Kilipota Thole was substituted in the first half of the game against Namibia, and the shotstopper was replaced with George Chikooka. With the current situation of the goalkeeper unknown, Chikooka might start in this game. With no other injury concerns, I expect other players to keep their positions.

Malawi Expected Lineup

George Chikooka; Charles Petro, Alick Lungu, M. Lameck, Gomezgani Chirwa; Wisdom Mpinganjira, Yankho Singo, Patrick Mwaungulu; Richard Mbulu, Lloyd Njaliwa, Chawanangwa Kaonga.

👤 Head coach: Callisto Pasuwa

Liberia: form and statistics

Liberia suffered a 3-0 loss to Tunisia in their last game to put a setback in their aspiration for the World Cup. At the moment, they are out of the chance to get an automatic ticket out of the group, but if they can get themselves together and finish second, they can be fortunate to get the ticket through the back door. The Lone Star have managed just one win in their last six games in all competitions and sit third in Group H with ten points in seven games, scoring seven goals and conceding seven.

Liberia: Team News and Lineup

Natus Swen only managed to play eleven minutes against Tunisia before being substituted. The defender is expected to sit out of this game to cool his head. With this, I expect the visitors to return to a back three of Mark Pabai, Prince Balde, and Laomie in this clash.

Liberia Expected Lineup

Tommy Gbayeh Songo; Mark Pabai, Prince Balde, N. Laomie; Oscar Dorley, Salomon Tweh, Edwrd Ledlum; Divine Teah, Ayouba Kosiah, W. Gibson.

👤 Head coach: Thomas Kojo

Malawi vs Liberia match prediction, 08 September 2025

Malawi and Liberia are currently playing poorly, and with the look of things, they have both dashed their World Cup hopes. The two teams are poor in front of goals, and I think the best option in this clash is to stay with the low-scoring outcome of the game. Not only that, with both sides inseparable, I think a draw is on the cards.
