Forwards Peter Wadabwa, Gabadinho Mhango and Chiukepo Msowoya all lead the Malawi national football team upfront in this afternoon’s crucial match against Zimbabwe in Harare.

Coach Ernest Mtawali has named his starting line up which is of course a promising 4-3-3 formation which has apparently been receiving praises from fans in Malawi bearing in mind that this is a must win game for the Flames if their chances of qualifying for the continental showdown in Gabon next year are meant to be kept alive.

The Flames need nothing but a win today.

Mtawali has reacted to the goalkeeping woes the team has fallen to by starting Charles Swini this time around in the posts. The H.B. Songo F.C keeper will have to rely on veteran Harry Nyirenda who partners Stanley Sanudi, Francis Mlimbika and John Lanjesi as defenders, manning the Flames goalkeepers and of course keeping the Warriors at bay.

In the midfield, the surprise package is ofcourse Wonderful Jereman. But the Silver Strikers maestro will perhaps bank on the experience of veteran Joseph Kamwendo. Gerlad Phiri Jnr also joins the fun of ball distribution and attacking in the midfield.

The all but important job per say lie in three front men.

Wadabwa who has over the years raised his for has made it back to the Flames squad. He starts alongside captain Msowoya and Mhango-whose heroics some years back nearly earned him the saviour tag for the team.
