Cameroon will face off with Malawi in the 2019 CAF Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Qualification Group B match at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo in Yaoundé on Friday, October 12.

Kick-off is at 16h30 CAT.

The Indomitable Lions were held to a 1-1 draw by Comoros away in their previous 2019 AFCON qualifier last month.

The draw extended Cameroon's winless run to two games in all competitions having lost 1-0 to Burkina Faso, before facing Comoros.

The African giants will be eager to return to winning ways against a struggling Malawi side.

Meanwhile, Malawi lost 3-0 to Morocco away in their previous 2019 AFCON qualifier last month.

The Flames then lost 1-0 to Kenya in an international friendly match in the following week.

The Southern African side will be looking to cause a major upset by defeating an unpredictable Cameroon side.
