Namibia and Togo call it quits with their hopes of qualifying for the World Cup 2022 this week when they battle it out. The match schedules for Monday at the Orlando Stadium, with kickoff at 4 pm.
Togo suffered a 1-0 defeat to their hosts in the reverse fixture back in September. Hence, we expect a fight in their final call.

Kambundu has been in fine form for his country and scored a friendly against Morocco earlier in September. He will seek to add further goals, assist in the months ahead, and aid Gaetan Borella in forming a partnership.
