H2H Stats Matches and Previous Teams Results
Ethiopia Team Overview
The team's most recent official match took place on as part of the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, with Ethiopia hosting São Tomé and Príncipe. The hosts claimed a 1-0 victory.
Here’s a look at the key match statistics (Ethiopia vs São Tomé and Príncipe):
- Possession: 54% vs 46%;
- Corners: 4 vs 2;
- Yellow cards: 1 vs 0;
- Shots on target: 4 vs 1.
The team finished fifth in their World Cup qualifying group, with slim chances from the outset. Egypt promptly secured top spot. Ethiopia, meanwhile, haven’t wasted any time and have already played two official matches in the qualifiers for the next major tournament-the Africa Cup of Nations. In the preliminary round, they comfortably dispatched São Tomé and Príncipe. Next up is the group stage of qualifying, which kicks off only in September. This international window, therefore, offers a great opportunity for Ethiopia to test themselves.

- Possession: 41% vs 59%;
- Corners: 6 vs 4;

- Shots on target: 5 vs 5.
Malawi finished fourth in their World Cup qualifying group, and their higher ranking spared them from the preliminary round of Africa Cup of Nations qualification. The team will therefore begin their campaign directly from the group stage. Malawi make the most of every international window and aren’t afraid to schedule plenty of friendlies-they played two matches both in November last year and in March. Notably, their defense stood out during these games, never conceding more than one goal in any match. On June 9, Malawi are set to play another fixture, this time against Ethiopia.

⭐ Editorial Prediction
Malawi's defense has proven tough to break down in recent friendlies, limiting their opponents' chances. Ethiopia, meanwhile, lack the attacking quality to truly threaten. It's also worth noting that these sides will face each other twice during this international window, giving both teams a chance to adapt and adjust. Backing Malawi to win with a (0) handicap looks like a solid option. We aren't expecting a high-scoring affair-this one could easily finish 0-1. Malawi's edge in previous head-to-head encounters could well be the decisive factor here.
