Cameroon are set to start their journey to qualify for the World Cup for an eighth time, when they open their Group D campaign at home to minnows Malawi. This is going to be a crucial chapter for Cameroon, who missed Russia 2018, and being hosts of the 2021 AFCON, they have to impress in these qualifiers. They go to this game with one win in the last six matches, a friendly game against Nigeria, and their matches have been characterized by low scores. In the last five outings, four have ended in under 2.5 goals and while Cameroon have no win in their last three home matches, they are unbeaten in 12. They’ve won six and drawn as many at home heading to this game. Cameroon have one win and one loss in their last seven World Cup qualification matches, and in their last 10 matches they have four clean sheets. They are however undefeated in 24 home matches in World Cup qualifiers, the last four all producing under 2.5 goals.

After securing qualification to the AFCON 2021, Malawi will be gunning for a successful run in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers as well. To get there though, they have a lot of improvement to do, coming from a dismal performance at the COSAFA Cup recently, where they managed just two points in four matches. They are winless in their last five matches and have no clean sheet in that run, while they have failed to score in two of the matches. Four of their last five matches have produced under 2.5 goals and it will be tougher for them playing away from home, with no win in the last three away games. In World Cup qualification, Malawi have scored no goal in the last three away matches and each of their last six matches ended in under 2.5 goals.
