Egypt and Angola drew 0-0 in opening campaign and the Pharaohs lead the group after thrashing South Sudan 5-0 in Matchday 2.
The Egyptian online media, Jadwal describes the Flames as the Pharaohs’ “traditional rival” following past encounters.
“The rivalry between the two teams spans 12 official and friendly matches, with Egypt securing 7 wins compared to Malawi’s 3, alongside 2 draws.
“The competition began in 1978 with Egypt winning 4-1, and has seen numerous closely contested matches, including draws and shared victories.
“However, the Pharaohs have dominated recent encounters, particularly in the 2023 qualifiers, where they won both legs 6-0 on aggregate.
“In terms of goals, Egypt has scored 20 times against Malawi while conceding 8, highlighting a clear attacking superiority for the Pharaohs over their opponents.
