Egypt will host Malawi on Friday, November 13, 2026, at 20:00 in the third round of Africa Cup qualification, with Hossam Hassan’s side listed as the clear favorite to extend its lead at the top of the group. Egypt goes into the match with four points, five goals scored and none conceded in the campaign.
The search around Egypt Vs Malawi is being driven by the standings and the market around the match. Egypt sits first with four points after two rounds, while Malawi is third on three points, which keeps the result live for both teams as qualification takes shape. The odds reflect that gap, with Egypt priced at 1.11, a draw at 8.70 and Malawi at 27.00.
Hassan’s team has handled qualification well so far, winning once and drawing once without a loss, although its only home match in this phase ended level. The most recent direct meeting finished 4-0 for Egypt, a reminder of the size of the task facing Malawi even before a ball is kicked in this one.
That is not the full picture, though. Egypt’s defence has not been breached in qualification, but its latest match in all competitions ended in a 0-1 home defeat to South Africa, which gives Friday’s game a sharper edge than the table alone suggests. Egypt followed that with a 5-0 away win over South Sudan in qualification, while Malawi arrives with one win and one defeat after two rounds and three goals scored against four conceded.
The one detail still missing is basic but important: the stadium and referee have not yet been confirmed. What is fixed is the date, the time and the stakes, and Egypt will know that another clean result would strengthen its position at the top before the group moves on.
