Malawi vs Senegal Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

The visitors are level on points with Burkina Faso in Group L.

Senegal will travel to Malawi for their fourth 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier clash. The Teranga Lions pulled off a statement 4-0 win at home against the same opposition over the weekend and will look to continue their momentum. They did well and exceeded expectations in their first match under the tutelage of interim manager Pape Thiaw. They are placed second in their group with seven points in hand.

Malawi on the contrary have struggled to find their mojo so far in the qualifiers. They are still in search of their first point having lost each of their three games so far. Things have gone from bad to worse for the Flames as they are now winless in their last seven AFCON qualifying fixtures. They sit at the bottom of the Group L table and have conceded 10 goals so far.

Kick Off

Tuesday, October 15, 6:30 PM IST

Venue: Bingu National Stadium, Malawi

Form

Malawi (in all competitions): L-L-L-L-W

Senegal (in all competitions): W-W-D-W-D

Players to watch 

Chawa (Malawi)

Chawa has been the most consistent player for Malawi in the AFCON qualifiers so far. Despite his side’s poor run of form, the midfielder has dropped in good performances. He has been directly involved in all of Malawi’s goals so far.

The player has a goal and two assists to his name. His pure goal-scoring instincts coupled with his pace and dribbling make him an important player for the Flames.

Sadio Mane (Senegal)

Sadio Mane continues to lead his side from the front and has set an example for his teammates. The Al-Nassr forward has scored two goals so far, including a goal in the last game against Malawi. He possesses incredible technical abilities, pace and versatility. Moreover, his experience of playing against and with the best footballers in the world comes in very handy for the Teranga Lions.
