Egypt with their backs against the wall

The opening match was a heavy blow. A crushing 6-0 defeat to Zambia has already cast a shadow over Egyptian ambitions. An immediate response is needed. In midfield, Amira Ahmed, Mahira Ali, and Nadine Ghazi will be tasked with orchestrating the play. Up front, Habiba Essam, Farah El Mahdy, and Sarah Essam carry the scoring responsibilities.

Egypt starting XI: Maha Al-Demerdash, Nour Abdel Wahed, Nora Khaled, Kristina Salama, Yasmin Abdel Aziz, Amira Ahmed, Mahira Ali, Nadine Ghazi, Habiba Essam, Farah El Mahdy, Sarah Essam

Malawi looking to confirm their form

The Flames pulled off a stunning upset in their opener. A 3-2 victory over Nigeria has given them a huge confidence boost. Another win would send Malawi straight through to the quarter-finals. Their main weapon is Tabitha Chawinga. The star striker is in the starting line-up and will be supported by Temwa Chawinga. The Malawian block is determined to hold firm and clinch qualification.

Malawi starting XI: Mercy Sikelo, Chimwemwe Madise, Rose Smith Kadzere, Temwa Chawinga, Tabitha Chawinga, Madyina Nguluwe, Leticia Chinyamula, Faith Chinzimu, Ireen Khumalo, Rose Alufandika, Benadeta Mkandawire

The kick-off for this Group C clash at the Women’s AFCON is set for 17:00 GMT at the Moulay El Hassan Stadium in Rabat.
