Guinea eye winning start against Malawi (10.01.2022)
The National Elephants are eyeing nothing but a win against the Flames in a group that includes a stubborn Zimbabwe side and tournament favourites, Senegal.
The Guinea camp has been hit by Covid-19 ahead of Africa´s biggest football tournament, but their star midfielder and captain Naby Keita is available for selection.
Kaba Diawara, the Guinea head coach, is oozing with confidence and he believes that he can guide the team to the knockout phase of the competition.
“We have the ambition to go as far as possible in this competition, which is why I accepted this mission," Diawara told Africa Top Sports.
"Now it is clear that it is the results that will speak. We try to put things in place, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn´t.
"We arrive in a competition and we will quickly be focused. In any case at the level of ambition, yes, I will take up the challenge ”
Meanwhile, Malawi are considered by some to be Group B´s minnows as they make their third appearance in
|
the continental tournament.
The Flames´ camp has also been hit by Covid-19 with Charles Petro and Mark Fodya having been ruled out from their clash with the National Elephants after testing positive for the coronavirus.
However, Malawi have been boosted by the availability of Richard Mbulu and this has come as good news for their coach Mario Marinica, who is hoping for a winning start in Cameroon.
“It is good news that Mbulu is negative and is coming on Saturday. This will help us with the squad plan," Marinica told Malawian Football Association´s official website.
"However, it is a very difficult situation with Fodya and Petro. The two are very crucial to our Afcon plans with what we did with them in Saudi Arabia.
“Now we have to re-assess and re-adjust and hope we will still get flying colours."
The last meeting between Guinea and Malawi was in March 2016 at the Kamuzu Stadium in Blantyre.
Guinea secured a 2-1 win over Malawi in the 2017 Afcon qualifier.
