The Burundi team has already arrived at the stadium and is very hungry, so it is expected to be a hard-fought game. Bienvenue Kanakinama is the striker to watch for Burundi, the forward scored two goals in his last game, so he will be looking for more goals.
Malawi's national team director, Gomezgani Zakazaka, spoke before the game: “The FAM executive committee decided that the national team should camp for seven days before a match and that is the practice all over the world, why should Malawi be special?”
