Prediction: 1-1
Malawi
General Lansana Conte Stadium will host Thursday’s AFCON qualifier between Guinea and Malawi, the two teams who are vying for second place in Group D. Malawi kicked off their Africa Cup of Nations campaign with a 2-1 win over Ethiopia, but they face a difficult task in their second group game. A man to watch in the away team will be Orlando Pirates forward Gabadinho Mhango, who scored a brace from the penalty spot against the Ethiopians.
As for the hosts, they were on the verge of holding Egypt to a goalless draw in Cairo, but substitute Mostafa Mohamed eventually scored a late winner for the Pharaohs. Guinea are desperate to grab something from Thursday’s qualifier, but given Malawi’s display against Wubetu Abate’s troops, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw.

The National Elephants wear red socks, yellow shorts and green socks when welcoming their rivals, whilst their away colours are yellow and red.
