Egypt are tipped to win to nil against Malawi in their Africa Cup of Nations Group B qualifier, with a predicted 4-0 scoreline. Egypt have a strong home record, winning three of their last five matches in Cairo and conceding only two goals in that period. Malawi, by contrast, have lost four of their last five away games, scoring just twice and conceding six. Key selections include Egypt to score in both halves and over 2.5 goals with both teams not to score. Malawi's poor away form and Egypt's attacking options support the tip.

Egypt have made a decent start, as has Malawi but the hosts don't often lose at home and Malawi's away record is poor. 

Key Stats - Malawi Woeful Away from Home


  • Egypt have won 3 of their last 5 home fixtures.
  • Egypt have scored 4 goals in 5 home matches.
  • Egypt have conceded 2 goals in 5 home games. 
  • Malawi have lost 4 of their last 5 away fixtures.
  • Malawi have scored 2 goals in 5 away games.
  • Malawi have conceded 6 goals in 5 away matches.

Egypt Lead


Egypt hold a 7-3 advantage with two draws in 12 matches against Malawi.

Egypt to Return to Winning Ways


Egypt had to settle for a point in their opening Africa Cup of Nations Group B qualifier, drawing 0-0 with Angola at home before bouncing back with an emphatic 5-0 thrashing of South Sudan away from home.

The Pharaohs are first in the Group B standings with four points after two rounds. 

Egypt have registered two victories in their last five fixtures, two defeats and one draw. They scored eight goals and conceded five. 

The North African team have won three of their last five home games, with one defeat and one draw. They scored four goals and conceded two. 

Egypt will fancy their chances of securing all three points when they host Malawi, as their opponents have not been at their best away from home recently, having lost four of their last five away matches. 

Malawi Four Defeats in Five on the Road


Malawi kicked off the AFCON qualifying campaign with a 2-1 home win over South Sudan before losing 3-1 to Angola on the road. 

The Flames are third in the Group B table with three points from two fixtures. 

Malawi have won one of their last five matches, with three defeats and one draw. They scored four goals and conceded seven.

The Flames have secured one victory in their last five away games, with four defeats and one draw. They scored two goals and conceded six.

Malawi will find the going tough in Cairo, as Egypt often play their best football in front of their loyal fans, and they are on a three-match losing streak against their hosts.
