Malawi vs Egypt Preview, prediction, injury news & lineups | AFCON 2027 qualifiers
The Pharaohs are now on a four-match winning run against the Flames!
The Malawi national football team are all set to lock horns with the Egypt national football team for their fourth group stage fixture of the AFCON 2027 qualifiers. The Bingu National Stadium will witness this interesting outing.
Malawi are now on a two-match losing run. Egypt outplayed them to secure a 5-0 victory in what was an underwhelming performance by the Flames. They did come up with multiple attempts on goal but were not successful as they lacked ball control and the finishing touches.
The Callisto Pasuwa-led side are at their home ground for their upcoming contest but are still going to be under pressure due to their current run of form.
Egypt are now at the top of the table with a dominant win against the Flames. They will be looking for yet another victory to extend their lead. The Pharaohs have scored 10 goals in their last two AFCON qualifying games, without conceding any.
The Ali Maher-led team will be looking for another win. Being away from home can be one of their challenges, but they will be confident for their upcoming fixture.
