Egypt vs Ethiopia: Africa Cup of Nations Qualifiers Live Stream, Form Guide, Head to Head, Schedule, Fixture and Probable Lineups

Egypt and Ethiopia will conclude their 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign as they face off at the 30 June Stadium this Friday. After a 2-0 defeat in the previous match in June 2022, the seven-time African champions aim to defeat the Wali Ibex and secure their eighth consecutive victory.

Egypt delivered another impressive performance, securing a comfortable 3-0 victory against South Sudan in a friendly match at Cairo International Stadium on June 18. Mostafa Fathy, Kahraba, and Mahmoud Trezeguet all scored for the Pharaohs in a one-sided contest. Egypt is now focused on the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, where they are currently on a three-game winning streak after a 2-0 loss to Friday’s opponents in June 2022. Their upcoming match is against a team that has struggled in their historical meetings, with only three draws and 11 losses out of 17 encounters since February 1957. Rui Vitoria’s team leads Group D with 12 points out of 15, three points ahead of Guinea, who will face Malawi in another group fixture on Saturday. Egypt has won their last seven matches in all competitions, with their last defeat being a 4-1 loss to South Korea in a friendly in June 2022.

Ethiopia recently made a triumphant return to the winner’s circle with a convincing 2-0 victory against Guyana at Loudoun United’s Segra Field last Sunday. In this match, veteran midfielder Shimelis Bekele shone, scoring on both sides of halftime, dealing Jamaal Shabazz’s team a second consecutive loss. Before this win, Daniel Deribe’s squad had endured a six-game winless streak across all competitions, during which they only managed to secure one point out of the last nine available in Group D of the AFCON qualifiers. Presently, Ethiopia finds itself at the bottom of the group standings with four points out of a potential 15, sharing the same points tally with fellow strugglers Malawi and trailing second-placed Guinea by five points. Despite their desire to exit the qualifiers with pride, Ethiopia has faced difficulties obtaining positive results on the road, enduring a five-game losing streak and failing to secure a victory in their last 12 away matches since 2020.
