Egypt vs Malawi: How and Where to Watch LIVE

Matchday 3 of the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers brings an important Group B encounter to Cairo International Stadium, where Egypt hosts Malawi on Friday, November 13.

The Pharaohs enter the match with four points from their opening two qualifiers, sitting above Angola on goal difference, while Malawi occupies third place with three points.

Kickoff is scheduled for 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT, with coverage beginning at 1:50 PM ET / 10:50 AM PT on beIN SPORTS CONNECT in the United States.

Egypt Begins a New Era Under Ali Maher After an Impressive Victory

Egypt enters this international window with a new head coach after Ali Maher replaced Hossam Hassan on November 7.

The seven-time African champions began their qualifying campaign with a disappointing 0-0 draw against Angola on September 25 before bouncing back with a commanding 5-0 away victory over South Sudan four days later.

Omar Marmoush scored twice in that victory, while Mostafa Ziko, Ibrahim Adel and Hamza Abdelkarim also found the net.

However, Egypt suffered a 1-0 friendly defeat against South Africa on October 4 in its most recent outing. That loss, followed by changes to the coaching staff, has made the double-header against Malawi the starting point of a new chapter for the Pharaohs.

Maher's first squad includes captain Mohamed Salah, Marmoush and returning players Mohamed El Shenawy and Mahmoud Trezeguet. Forward Mahmoud Mamdouh has also received his first international call-up.

The new coach will be looking to make a winning start and strengthen Egypt's position at the top of Group B.

Malawi Looks to Challenge the Group Leaders After an Uneven Start

Malawi, managed by Kalisto Pasuwa, has collected three points from its opening two qualifiers.

The Flames began with a 2-1 home victory over South Sudan, thanks to goals from Babatunde Adepoju and Lloyd Njaliwa, but subsequently suffered a 3-1 away defeat against Angola on October 6.

Pasuwa has named a 24-man squad featuring Lanjesi Nkhoma, Mwisho Mhango, Patrick Mwaungulu and captain Richard Mbulu, who has declared himself fully fit after recovering from injury.

Malawi will be hoping to improve its defensive performances and secure a positive result against one of Africa's most decorated national teams.

Can Malawi End Egypt's Recent Dominance?

Recent meetings favor Egypt, which defeated Malawi 2-0 at home and 4-0 away during the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.

With Egypt and Angola level on four points and Malawi just one point behind, the November double-header could significantly influence the battle for the two qualifying positions in Group B.

The teams will meet again on November 17 at Bingu National Stadium in Lilongwe, giving Malawi an opportunity to respond on home soil.
