The qualifying stage match for the World Cup between African teams will commence. Fans of international football can look forward to the clash between Malawi and São Tomé and Príncipe.
The Malawi national team is not among the strongest squads when considering the global rankings. The team from Africa currently occupies the 125th spot in the FIFA rankings and has not performed well even against comparable opponents. Malawi has never competed in the World Cup and has participated in the Africa Cup of Nations only thrice.
On two occasions, Malawi was stopped at the group stage, but in 2021, they achieved a historic milestone. Currently, the Malawi national team ranks 4th in their qualifying group, with 3 points. They achieved success in their match against Liberia but lost to Tunisia.
The team from São Tomé and Príncipe is one of the weakest on the African continent. The São Tomé and Príncipe national team has never played in the World Cup or the Africa Cup of Nations. They are not a stable team that consistently competes.
The São Tomé and Príncipe squad has disbanded and reformed multiple times. They last won in 2022, defeating Mauritius. In the first two matches of the current qualifying tournament, São Tomé and Príncipe lost, rounding out the bottom of the group. In matches against Tunisia and Namibia, they conceded 6 goals in total.
In official matches, São Tomé and Príncipe and Malawi have not previously faced each other.
The individual total over (ITO) for Malawi will be more than 3 goals. The opponent is very weak, allowing for a high number of goals.
Malawi will win. The Malawi national team has excellent chances to continue their quest for World Cup qualification, considering the results of the first two rounds and the weakness of their upcoming opponent.
