These sides last met in 2010 where Ivory Coast won 2-0.
Malawi Form
Malawi qualified for the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations after winning their final two matches. Two successive 1-0 victories got them there in South Sudan and at home to Uganda.
Malawi then played in the 2021 COSAFA Cup with an under-strength team. They did not make it past the group stages after drawing two and losing two of their four fixtures.
The Cranes suffered a 2-0 defeat in their opening World Cup qualification match in Cameroon. Since that defeat they have beaten Mozambique 1-0 at home with Richard Mbulu finding the back of the net.
Malawi Team News

Ivory Coast Form
Ivory Coast easily reached the 2022 AFCON tournament after topping their group. Their final two qualifying matches ended in a 3-0 win in Niger and a 3-1 home success against Ethiopia.
A 2-1 home win in a friendly against Burkina Faso followed before a goalless draw in Ghana. Ivory Coast took a point in their opening 2022 World Cup qualifier with a 0-0 draw in Mozambique.
Last time out the Elephants produced a strong performance to beat Cameroon 2-1 at home. Sebastien Haller scored twice in the first 29 minutes to open up a 2-0 lead.
