Namibia will fly into nearby Botswana to host their Group H World Cup qualifying match against Malawi. These two will face off in the seventh round, with Malawi looking to rise from fifth as Namibia seeks to consolidate second spot. We have a prediction for the match below.
Namibia are in a strong position to at least earn a playoff spot, having bagged 12 points from their opening six games. They are one of the two unbeaten sides in this pool and will be targeting a fourth win here.
The southern African nation beat Malawi 1-0 in their first meeting and are favorites to seal a double.
Malawi’s chances of making it to the World Cup for the first time are very slim. They come into this game having garnered six points from as many matches and conceded six times while scoring just twice.
Three straight defeats in this group diminished their chances even more. One more loss will mean they can’t finish anywhere above third. Coming into this game with just one win in the last eight matches strengthens their place as underdogs here.
It hasn’t also been great on their travels, the Flames having managed three wins in 15 away games. Despite all, they hold the better head-to-head record, having beaten Namibia three times and losing twice in nine meetings.

Our Namibia vs Malawi Prediction
Namibia are unbeaten in Group H of the qualifiers and will be seeking a fourth win in seven matches. Among their three wins was an away victory against Malawi, and in their current shape, they’ll enter this game as favorites.
Malawi have suffered defeat in all their last three matches in this group. Chances the away team will add to their two Group H wins are seriously slim, as they have just one win in the last eight matches. Our prediction for Namibia v Malawi is that Namibia wins the match.
