Egypt vs Malawi tips and predictions

A done deal for Egypt?

Malawi have their work cut out but these home win odds are nothing to get carried away with. While they are pretty much unbackably short, don't expect them to lose.

Obviously Egypt have the pedigree. The hosts have registered 13 wins in their last 17 home games. Less impressively the travelling side has flattered to deceive at times. They've lost 9 of their recent 12 matches on the road. All the evidence points to one more loss here.

This home team is in a bit of a run of form inside their own ground. Egypt have scored at least once in 10 of their recent 11 home matches and their performances in defence have also paid dividends. They have only conceded an average of 0.5 goals in their last 18 games.

Averaging just 0.9 goals in their last 20 matches, Malawi have have been left wanting. Despite these stats suggesting they are struggling to find form, the visitors should not be entirely ruled out. You shouldn't count on it though.

Perhaps the game doesn't live up to the hype due to the overwhelming favouritism for Egypt. But the odds-against for the BTTS Yes looks like it's far better value. And if you're interested in the goal line, it's Under 3.5 Goals for this one given the prices available there.
