Egypt’s commanding start in AFCON 2027 Group B qualifiers has shaped trader consensus around the Pharaohs as the leading contender. After a scoreless draw with Angola on matchday one, Egypt responded with a 5-0 rout of South Sudan, posting a +5 goal difference and four points from two games. Angola sits level on points following their 3-1 win over Malawi, while Malawi holds third place with three points after their opening victory. South Sudan trails with zero points and a heavy negative goal difference. Upcoming November fixtures, including Egypt versus Angola and Malawi versus South Sudan, will test whether the established side can convert its squad depth and recent momentum into the group win.
