Egypt vs Malawi prediction 13.11.2026 | Africa Cup of Nations Qualification

Egypt enters this one on the back of a busy stretch, having reached the round of 16 at the 2026 World Cup and picking up four points from two AFCON qualifiers so far.

The Pharaohs started Group B with a 0-0 draw against Angola before thrashing South Sudan 5-0. Ali Maher’s men boast a stellar record in Cairo, extending their unbeaten home run in competitive qualifiers to over a year.

I think their home dominance is honestly terrifying for any visitor. Up front, forward Mahmoud Mamdouh earns a debut call-up after a red-hot start in the Egyptian league.

He’s bagged 8 goals in just 8 games! However, the roster is missing regular midfielder Emam Ashour, who dropped out of this squad window.

Malawi prepares for this one on the back of a mixed opening to their campaign, missing out on recent World Cups but securing three points in Group B so far.

The Flames suffered a tough 3-1 loss away in Angola last month after edging out South Sudan 2-1 at home in their opening game.

Kalisto Pasuwa’s men face a brutal test on the road, where they are currently stuck in a rough winless slump after winning only one of their last competitive nine away games.

Honestly, watching them struggle outside of Lilongwe is painful. Looking at the roster, TP Mazembe forward Lanjesi Nkhoma returns to provide a vital spark upfront. Sadly, key defender Denis Chembezi is completely ruled out due to an injury.
