Malawi will host Tunisia at the Bingu National Stadium on Tuesday in another round of the 2026 CAF World Cup qualifiers.
The home side enjoyed a winning start to their qualification campaign and are now pushing for their first-ever FIFA World Cup appearance. They beat Liberia 1-0 at the Samuel Kanyon Doe Sports Complex in their group opener on Friday, with Chifundo Mphasi coming off the bench midway through the second half to score the game-winner.
Malawi sit third in their group with three points from an obtainable three. They will be looking to pick up another win this weekend before wrapping up international action for the year.
Tunisia also kicked off their World Cup qualifiers on a high, thrashing Sao Tome and Principe 4-0 at the Stade Hammadi Agrebi on Friday. Yassine Meriah opened the scoring for the Eagles of Carthage late in the first half before Youssef Msakni, Hamza Rafia and Firas Ben Al Arbi joined the 30-year-old on the scoresheet in the second half.
The visitors sit atop their group with three points and will be looking to add to that tally this Tuesday.

Malawi vs Tunisia Prediction
Malawi's latest result ended a three-game winless streak and they will be looking to build on that next week. They are winless in their last three home matches and could struggle here.
Similarly, Tunisia saw their latest result end a run of back-to-back defeats and they will be looking to kick on from that success this week. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams should see the visitors win this one fairly easily.
Prediction: Malawi 1-3 Tunisia
