Tunisia
In their last match, Tunisia secured a 2-0 victory against Libya at home. This win extended their unbeaten run in the World Cup qualifiers to five matches (3 wins, 2 draws). Tunisia has been solid defensively, conceding only two goals in their last five qualifiers. They currently top the group standings with 11 points, and a win against Malawi will secure their spot in the next stage of the qualification process.
- Tunisia has not lost in regular time in their last 7 home matches in World Cup qualifiers (5 wins, 2 draws).
- The team has kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 5 home games in this tournament.
- The number "0" has appeared in the scoreline at the end of regular time in 4 of Tunisia's last 6 home matches in the qualifiers.
Malawi
Malawi comes into this match after a 1-1 draw against Algeria in their previous outing. They have struggled to find consistency in the qualifiers, with just one win in their last five matches (1 win, 2 draws, 2 losses). Currently, they sit third in the group with 5 points. To keep their qualification hopes alive, Malawi needs a win against Tunisia and favorable results in other group fixtures.
- Malawi has not won in regular time in their last 6 away matches in World Cup qualifiers (2 draws, 4 losses).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 90 minutes in 5 of Malawi's last 7 away games in this tournament.
- At least one of the opponents failed to score in regular time in 4 of Malawi's last 6 away matches in the qualifiers.
Tunisia vs. Malawi: Match Prediction
Tunisia has shown strong form at home, maintaining a solid defense and achieving positive results. They have not conceded in their last two home qualifiers. Meanwhile, Malawi has struggled to secure victories on the road, and their chances of breaking down Tunisia's defense appear slim. Given these factors, I predict: Total under 2.5 goals
