The Flames are turning heads. After a 3-2 victory over Nigeria and a 3-1 win against Egypt, they can secure top spot in the group with a win or a draw. Qualification would make Malawi the first tournament debutant to reach the quarter-finals since Botswana in 2022.

On the other side, Zambia started their campaign with a 6-0 rout of Egypt before falling 0-1 to Nigeria. The Copper Queens have only one path: win to claim top spot. In their last five COSAFA meetings, Zambia leads 3-2.

The official lineups:

Malawi: M. Sikelo — Madise — Kadzere — Sabinah — Temwa — Chawinga — Madyina — L. Chinyamula — Chimzimu — Khumalo — B. Mkandawire

Zambia: Nali — Mweemba — Chileshe — Belemu — Chanda — Banda — Lungu — Nachula — Phiri — Maluba — Chilufya
