Expect Malawi to dominate possession and create more chances. High probability Malawi win, possibly with margin of 2 goals. Over 1.5 goals likely; over 2.5 possible if São Tomé concede a lot. Unlikely that São Tomé score many, but possible chance from one or two breaks or set plays. Malawi: Mixed but better: they have had wins and draws in recent qualifiers, not perfect but more competitive. They beat São Tomé before, showing capability to score multiple goals. São Tomé and Príncipe: Currently very poor in this qualification campaign: lost all their matches so far in Group H. They conceded many goals recently, including heavy defeat (like losing 6-0 to Tunisia). Their scoring is low; they struggle to keep clean sheets or shut out stronger opponents. São Tomé’s defence is very vulnerable, likely to concede early, especially given recent track record. Malawi have attacking options, and if they start well they may exploit gaps. São Tomé might try to soak up pressure, be defensively compact, maybe look for counter-attacks or set pieces.

Given Victoria's extensive experience and higher ranking, she is considered the favorite in any potential matchup against Ma. Victoria's aggressive baseline play and strong serve would likely pose significant challenges for Ma, who is still establishing herself on the WTA Tour.

Xinxin Yao enters this match as the higher-ranked player with more experience on the WTA circuit. Her left-handed play and preference for hard courts may give her an advantage over Zhang, who is still developing her game. However, Zhang's youth and potential for growth could make her a formidable opponent.
