Cameroon vs Malawi Predictions


Cameroon are very strong at home and did well in their recent AFCON qualifiers. Malawi have struggled defensively of late. I am tipping a low scoring match with the Indomitable Lions to win at home.

  • Cameroon have won 7 of their last 10 home matches (3 draws)(World Cup qualifiers).
  • Cameroon have seen under 2.5 goals in 9 of their last 10 matches (all competitions).
  • Malawi have lost 7 of their last 12 matches (2 wins, 2 draws)(all competitions).
  • Malawi have conceded 2+ goals in 6 of their last 10 matches (all competitions).

Head to Head


Cameroon hold a 1-0 advantage against Malawi across their two previous meetings with one draw.

The sides last met in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier in 2015 as the match finished in a 0-0 draw.

Cameroon Form


Cameroon finished top of their 2021 AFCON qualifying group with three wins and two draws in six matches.

A 2-0 qualifier win in Mozambique was followed by hosting the 2021 CHAN tournament. They lost 4-0 to Morocco in the semi-finals before losing 2-0 to Guinea in the third-place playoff.

Cameroon then lost 3-1 at Cape Verde and drew 0-0 with Rwanda to complete AFCON qualification. In June, they played Nigeria in two friendlies as they won 1-0 and then drew 0-0.

Coach Antonio Conceiçao remains without goalkeeper Andre Onana due to his FIFA sanction.

Eric Maxim Choupo-Moting and Zambo Anguissa are key men in attack and midfield respectively. Lille midfielder Jean Onana has been left out of the squad as has Clinton N’jie.

Malawi Form


Malawi qualified for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations after finishing second in their group. They won 1-0 in South Sudan and 1-0 against Uganda to secure qualification as striker Richard Mbulu scored both goals.

The Flames played in the recent COSAFA Cup but failed to win any of their four matches. A 2-2 draw with Zimbabwe was followed by a 2-0 defeat to Mozambique.

Malawi completed the mini-tournament with a 1-1 draw against Namibia and a 2-1 defeat to Senegal.
