Malawi need only draw but Namibia must win when the two countries meet today (Thursday) in their final Cosafa Senior Challenge Group B clash in Secunda.
The winner will play South Africa's developmental side in the quarter-finals of the tournament in Witbank on Saturday.
Malawi have eeked out two narrow 1-0 victories over Lesotho and competition newcomers, the Comoros Islands, and one more point to add to the six they have amassed already would be enough for top place.
But Namibia, who let a 1-0 lead against Lesotho slip late in their last match on Tuesday and ended up drawing, must win the game.
The two countries played out a friendly in Windhoek last March, which Malawi won 3-1 but traditionally the Brave Warriors have held the upper hand over the Flames.
Lesotho and the Comoros Islands also conclude their participation with a match in Secunda on Thursday, but both countries are out of the running.
The quarterfinals begin on Saturday with Angola playing the Group A winners and South Africa up against the best team in Group B. Both matches are at Witbank.
