Ethiopia and Egypt's group is group D and they share it with Malawi and Guinea. At the moment, the positions are as follows

Malawi 3 pts

Egypt 3 pts

Ethiopia 0 pts

Guinea 0 pts

Egypt is the favorite to win this match and there is data to back it up:

The Pharaohs have not lost in any of their last 12 away matches (in a row) in the Africa Cup of Nations.

On the other hand, Ethiopia has conceded in each of its last eight home matches.

They are ready! Both the Ethiopian and Egyptian national teams are already at the Bingu National Stadium for the matchday 2 fixture. 

 

In the history of confrontations between these two teams, the balance is in favor of the Pharaohs since, out of 13 matches they have faced each other, the Egyptians have 9 wins to 2 draws and 2 wins for the Ethiopians.

The venue for this match is the Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe and is located in Malawi. This stadium is mainly used for Malawi's national team matches and is also the venue for the Ethiopian Football Federation. It has a capacity of just over 41 thousand people.

 

We are just under an hour away from the start of Matchday 2 of Group D of the Africa Cup of Nations in Malawi, where the Egyptians have already started off on the right foot, but the Ethiopians are also looking to do their part. The Egyptians have already started the qualifiers on the right foot, but the Ethiopians also want to do their part in this second matchday. Will any of them manage to win?

Mohamed Salah| The star of the Pharaohs is 'touched', but he could see minutes in this match since, despite his condition, he played the last match against Guinea where he was very participative. The Liverpool striker is one of the most talented strikers up front and with his ability to hit from medium range, he can be a headache for the Ethiopian national team.

 

Teklemariam Shanko| The Ethiopian goalkeeper could be key in this match as he faces one of the teams that has a lot of talent in the offensive line. Faced with such power, Shanko could be very important with the interventions he can have under his goal, so he will have to be at his best and prevent the Egyptian goals.

 

Teklemariam Shanko, Mignot Debebe, Aschalew Tamene, Remedan Yesuf, Suleman Hamid, Amanuel Yohannes, Surafel Dagnachew, Mesud Mohammed, Abubeker Nasser, Dawa Hotessa, Amanuel Gebremichael.

Mohamed Abou Gabal, Omar Gaber, Mohamed Ibrahim, El Wench, Ayman Ashraf, Ashour, Hamdi Fathi, Al Sulaya, Salah, Marmoush, Zizo.

The reigning runners-up of the African Cup of Nations, led by Ehab Galal, are one of the most powerful and most visible teams in their confederation. With a star player like Salah, the Pharaohs are the favorites in the group they share with Ethiopia, Malawi and Guinea. The Egyptians started the qualifiers on the right foot and recorded their first victory in this tournament against Guinea, where a solitary goal by Mostafa Mohamed in the 87th minute gave them the three points on the first matchday.

The Ethiopian National Team led by Wubetu Abate, will face one of the most powerful teams of the African confederation and comes from a bad streak that they want to leave behind in this African Cup of Nations. Ethiopia has only one victory in the last ten matches played, so today they will have a complicated task when facing one of the favorites. This team is not lacking in goals as they have scored at least one in their last nine matches. In their most recent match, the Ethiopians lost 2-1 to Malawi on the first day of these qualifiers.

This Matchday 2 match between Ethiopia and Egypt will be played at the Bingu National Stadium, in the city of Lilongwe, Malawi. Kickoff is scheduled for 12:00 pm (ET).

This cup is an official competition played between the national teams of the African Football Confederation. This tournament is held every two years and is endorsed by FIFA. The reigning champion is the national team of Senegal, and today, the runner-up Egypt will play in this African Cup. In this match, Ethiopia and Egypt will face each other in this second qualifying round in the quest to reach the finals of this tournament.
