Head to Head

In their seven encounters since 2010, Angola have won three, Mali one and three draws.

Malawi Form

Malawi’s form coming into the COSAFA Cup was poor with very few good results behind them. During the March World Cup qualifiers, they suffered defeat at home to Namibia and away to Tunisia, failing to score in either fixture.

They did beat South Africa 1-0 at home in the first leg of the African Nations qualification round but lost the second leg 2-0.

In their COSAFA Cup opener, Malawi lost 1-0 to Lesotho before drawing 0-0 against Namibia over the weekend. Victory is a must for Malawi if they wish to progress.

Malawi Squad

Goalkeepers: Richard Chimbamba, George Chikooka, Lucky Tizola

Defenders: Mark Lameck, Maxwell Paipi, Fanizo Mwansambo, Emmanuel Nyirenda, Andrew Jovinala, Blessings Mpokera, Washali Jaziya, Timothy Silwimba

Midfielders: Yakho Singo, Chawanangwa Gumbo, Wongani Lungu, Charles Nkhoma, Zebron Kalima, Blessings Singini, Oscar Petro

Forwards: Zeliati Nkhoma, Olson Kanjira, Wisdom Mpinganjira, Gaddie Chirwa, Promise Kamwendo, Chikumbutso Salima, Allen Chihana

Angola Form

Prior to the COSAFA Cup, Angola had lost two, drawn one and won one of their previous four games. That said, Angola had been on an incredible run of form up to that point, particularly on home soil.

Angola began the 2025 COSAFA Cup with a 1-1 draw against Namibia. They took the lead in the 91st minute but then conceded in the 97th. Last time out, Angola thrashed Lesotho 4-0.

Victor Pedro Nanque gave Angola the lead on 42 minutes before Depu bagged a hattrick to secure a very comfortable win.

Angola Squad

Goalkeepers: Neblú, Agostinho Calunga, António Dominique Rui

Defenders: Alexandre Abel, Mindinho, Buatu, Jordy Gaspar, Leonel Cambuta, Caica, Sami, Vidinho, Hossi e Mabelé

Midfielders: Aguinaldo Matias, Além, Higino Capitango, Joca, Show, Keliano, Pedro Agostinho, Pedro Bondo, Randy Nteka

Forwards: Zine Salvador, Gilberto, Milson, Chico Banza, Ilídio Panda, Kaporal, Depú Lépua

Verdict

Angola v Malawi

Angola are backed to win this match. The best bet for a score is probably 1-0.
