Malawi are targeting a 2019 COSAFA Cup quarter-final against Zambia as the team seek to advance past the first round of the competition for the first time since they claimed the Plate title in 2015.
The Flames have been drawn in Group B alongside Mozambique, 2015 Cup winners Namibia and Seychelles in what looks an open pool that will be tough to call.
It is a fact backed up by Malawi coach Meke Mwase, who says while they should be confident they can advance, there will be no easy games.
