Malawi have drawn four of their last ten matches overall across all competitions (2W, 4D, 4L).

Tactical Overview

This friendly pits Ethiopia against Malawi, with the home side looking to leverage their distinct home advantage against a Malawi team that has been inactive for a considerable period. Ethiopia comes into this having won three of their last five home matches, including victories against Sao Tome and Principe, Guinea-Bissau, and Djibouti in competitive fixtures. However, their away form tells a different story, with five losses in their last five away games. Malawi, by contrast, have a mixed away record, picking up three wins and three draws in their last ten away games across all competitions, but their recent home form is poor with no wins in three. The head-to-head record is tight, with the last two meetings seeing one win apiece and a recent 0-0 draw, indicating a historically close contest. Despite Malawi having fewer rest days since their last match (236 days vs 67 days for Ethiopia), their overall Elo rating is only slightly lower, suggesting a competitive encounter.
