The champions of Africa Egypt are out for a third win on the trot when they face Malawi in Blantyre on Saturday.
The Pharaohs opened their Group 12 qualifying account with a 2-1 win over the Democratic Republic of Congo before smashing Djibouti 4-0.
Hassan Shehata's side are in control of the group and are odds on favourites to qualify for the 2010 Africa Cup of Nations and World Cup, to be held in Angola and South Africa respectively.
Shehata has a headache up front due to injuries to Amr Zaky and Emad Moteab while Mohamed Zidan is also unavailable after he fell out with the Egyptian Football Association over a fake injury.
Egypt's opponents hammered Djibouti 8-1 in their opening qualifier, but suffered a 1-0 reverse to the DRC in their last match.
The Flames, who are managed by Kinnah Phiri, are currently second in the group.
