Egypt and Angola sit level on four points after two AFCON 2027 qualifying matches in Group B, with Egypt holding a superior goal difference following a 5-0 win over South Sudan and a goalless draw with Angola. Angola responded with a 3-1 victory over Malawi, who opened with a narrow win against South Sudan but now trail. The tight trader consensus around the leaders reflects balanced early form, limited head-to-head history in this cycle, and the remaining November doubleheaders—Angola hosting South Sudan twice while Malawi faces Egypt—where results and goal difference will decide advancement. South Sudan’s heavy defeats have left them far behind, leaving the top three in a genuine contest through the group stage.
