Head to Head


Malawi hold the edge with four victories to three against Ethiopia, including six draws in 13 meetings across all competitions.

Ethiopia Form


Ethiopia suffered two defeats at the hands of Guinea, derailing their bid to qualify for the Africa Cup of Nations in January next year.

Ethiopia lost by two goals to nil away from home before being edged 3-2 on their turf in the return match.

Walia Ibex have won two of their last seven fixtures, including four losses and one draw.

Their last five results across all competitions are L, L, W, L, and L, scoring four goals and letting in nine.

Ethiopia have not been easy to defeat at home, drawing four of their last seven games, including two victories and one defeat.

Their last five home results across all competitions are D, D, D, W, and L, registering three goals and conceding three.

Ethiopia have not had the best group-stage qualification campaign for the Africa Cup of Nations but will look to win their remaining two fixtures for the fans; however, they have lacked conviction and goals. Can they find a way to win?

Malawi Form 


Malawi suffered back-to-back losses against Egypt in March, putting their chances of making it out of the AFCON qualifying group stages in jeopardy.

Malawi were beaten 2-0 away from home before being thrashed 4-0 at home by the Pharaohs.

They drew 1-1 against Mozambique in a friendly international last week.

Malawi are on a seven-game winless run, which includes five draws and two defeats.

Their last five results across all competitions are D, D, L, L, and D, scoring three goals and conceding nine.

The Flames have struggled to win on their travels, securing one victory in their last seven outings, including three losses and three draws.

Their last five away results across all competitions are W, D, D, L, and D, netting four goals and conceding four.

Malawi have lacked goals in recent outings, hurting their chances of qualifying for the AFCON finals. They beat their opponents the last time they met but will need to be more clinical upfront and put in a solid defensive display to pocket all the points.
