Malawi will face Burkina Faso at the Bingu National Stadium on Monday in the final game of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The home side have performed very poorly in their AFCON qualifying campaign so far, picking up just one point from an obtainable 15 and have since been eliminated from the running.
They picked up their first point in the qualifiers last time out in a dull goalless draw with Burundi. They could have no real complaints about the result after failing to register a single shot on target throughout the match.
Burkina Faso, meanwhile, have sealed qualification for a third consecutive AFCON after a strong showing during the qualifiers. They were beaten 1-0 by Senegal in their last match after conceding a late stunner from the Lions of Teranga's Habib Diarra. They perhaps deserved more from the game but were guilty of wasteful finishing.
Trending
Burkina Faso remain second in Group L with 10 points from five matches and will be looking to close out their group on a high with qualification now in the bag.
