Group D Mozambique will encounter Malawi at the Stade de l’Amitie in Benin this Tuesday November 12th in their last FIFA World Cup 2022 qualifying fixture with the both sides already eliminated. Mozambique are currently at the foot of the table without a win so far, while Malawi could confirm third place if they avoid defeat and have just one win.
Mozambique suffered a 3-0 loss against Group D leaders Ivory Coast on Sunday. Without a win in Group D so far, Mozambique have lost all but one of their encounters in the group and the only point came from the opening match against Ivory Coast.
Mozambique come into this match desperate to end the qualifiers with a win. Mozambique finished bottom of their African Cup of Nations qualification group and will need to take the win which would have them finish third.
Malawi found themselves pooled in the group with Ivory Coast and Cameroon after having a tremendous performance in the first round beating Botswana in the two legs to qualify for the place in the second round.
Malawi had their first fixture against Cameroon which ended with a defeat before beating their Tuesday’s opponents in the first round. Malawi then had back to back loses against Ivory Coast and now with only two games left to play they might want to secure back to back victories.
This campaign represents the most matches played by the South-East African nation in World Cup qualifying since South Africa 2010 and will be featuring in the African Cup of nations in January. Both teams will be looking to conclude their campaigns on a high note.
