Malawi welcome Guinea to the Bingu National Stadium for an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Saturday (September 9).
The hosts have not been in action since a penalty shootout defeat to South Africa in the third-placed playoff of the 2023 COSAFA Cup in July. The two sides could not be separated in a goalless draw before Bafana Bafana triumphed 5-3 on penalties.
Guinea, meanwhile, were last in action in a 4-1 defeat to Brazil in a friendly in June. Joelinton, Rodrygo, Eder Militao and Vinicius Junior found the back of the net for the Selecao.
