Ivory Coast are in pole position to advance to the next stage of the 2022 World Cup qualifiers from Group D, and that will be in their plans as they host Malawi on Match Day 4. Ivory Coast tops the group on seven points, one ahead of second placed Cameroon, while Malawi are a distant third with three points. The hosts here are coming from a 3-0 win over Malawi in their last game. That was their sixth win in 10 matches and it extended their unbeaten run to nine matches. Their matches have been high scoring, just as seen in their last game, a 3-0 thrashing of Malawi. Six of their last 10 games have produced over 2.5 goals and Ivory Coast go here with seven straight home wins. Four of their last five matches in World Cup qualifiers have produced over 2.5 goals.

Malawi head to this game in poor form; their only win in the last five matches was against the weakest team in this group – Mozambique. That game ended 1-0 and Malawi have failed to score in two of their last three matches while they have conceded two or more goals in three of their last four games. Malawi have no win in their last four away matches in World Cup qualifiers and have failed to register a goal in the four matches. In three of those four matches, they have conceded two goals in each. Going to this game they have a very poor record against Ivory Coast losing three of the last four and failing to score in three of them.
