Malawi Coach Targets Nigeria Upset

Malawi coach Kinnah 'Electric' Phiri hopes to build on the goalless draw with Kenya in next weekend's crucial World Cup qualifier against the Super Eagles in Blantyre.

''These boys may look small, but they are very intelligent and very fit and no team can play around with them. “We have upset Egypt, DR Congo and Guinea at home – so Nigeria can be another victim,'' Phiri told maraviexpress.com.

19 players including 10 foreign professionals made the trip to Kenya. Barring injuries, the same squad will be used by Coach Phiri for the tie against Nigeria on Saturday.

Malawi Squad
Home based: Amadu Ali, Steven Chagoma, Foster Namwera, Joseph Kamwendo, Richard Chipuwa, Ndaziona Chatsalira, Chimango Kayira, John banda and Frank Banda.

Foreign Professionals: Simplex Nthala, Moses Chavula, Dave Banda, Atusaye Nyondo,  Limbikani Mzava, James Sangala, Jimmy Zakazaka, Russell Mwafulirwa, Robin Ngalande,  Zicco Nkanda.
