Ethiopia to overcome lacklustre Malawi
These sides are six points adrift of second place and only a win can keep their hopes alive. Ethiopia have home advantage and a superior goal difference to Malawi but they need to win comprehensively to close the gap on Guinea.
The first of our Ethiopia vs Malawi tips is a win for the homes side. Ethiopia have lost their last four matches but only one of these came in front of their own fans. They even managed to earn a 2-0 home victory over Egypt in this group. So they have proven they are a capable outfit on their own turf.
Malawi played Egypt twice during the last international break and lost by an aggregate score of 6-0. Their goal difference is four worse than Tuesday’s opponents; highlighting their fragility at the back.
Malawi have lost their last seven competitive matches. Over this period they have scored an average of just 0.29 goals per game so the outlook is bleak ahead of this one. The home side are the deserved favourite.

Markneh to make it two in two
Our second Ethiopia vs Malawi prediction is Canaan Markneh to score for a second game running.
Markneh played out wide and scored in Ethiopia’s last match. He is capable of playing in behind a striker and on the wing. Markneh has performed reasonably well since being brought into the international fold.
The attacking midfielder was prolific in the Ethiopian Premier League for his previous club Saint George; scoring in his last eight matches for the club. He has since made the switch to Defence Force and has failed to replicate that form. However, he is still a very capable attacker.
Malawi have also been conceding more than their fair share of goals. They haven’t kept a clean sheet in five competitive matches and their opponents are averaging two goals per game over this period.
Ethiopia vs Malawi Bet 2: Canaan Markneh to score anytime
Malawi’s woes in front of goal to continue.
Malawi have played two away matches in this group and they have failed to score in either of those. Their last competitive away match saw them lose 2-0 to Egypt. The team failed to register a single attempt on target in that match.
They were also toothless in attack in their other away match in Group D. They were beaten 1-0 by Guinea and like in the Egypt game, they didn’t manage a single shot on target.
Ethiopia aren’t quite at the level of those opponents but their goalkeeper can expect to have a quiet 90 minutes on Tuesday. Malawi have failed to score in five of their last seven competitive away matches.
