Ethiopia welcome Malawi just three days after beating them 1-0 in their previous friendly. Ethiopia arrive with four wins from five games, while Malawi have managed just one win in their last five outings. The recent head-to-head gives Ethiopia a psychological edge, but Malawi will want to level the score quickly.
This should be another cagey affair given the tight scorelines in recent meetings between these sides. Ethiopia's defensive structure has kept four clean sheets in five games, including shutouts in both legs against Sao Tome and Principe. Malawi have struggled for goals with three blanks in their last five matches, managing just one goal across their recent friendlies. The tempo may be higher than the first meeting as Malawi will likely press earlier, but Ethiopia's compact shape should limit clear chances. The condition that swings this match is whether Malawi can find more attacking threat than they showed three days ago.
