Malawi chief executive officer Charles Nyirenda expects Egypt players to con the referee through diving when both sides meet in a World Cup qualifier on Sunday. "We know that the Egyptians will be falling easily so that they should earn free-kicks," Nyirenda was quoted as saying by local paper The Daily Times. "The players should be careful. The panel will do something about this." Egypt will be seeking to avenge their 1-0 away defeat to Malawi last Saturday. The African champions are also hoping to regain their position on top of Group 12 after slipping to third due their inferior goal difference to Malawi and DR Congo. Intimidating Atmosphere Nyirenda stated that Malawi players should cope with Cairo Stadium's 'intimidating atmosphere'. "The atmosphere is likely to be intimidating. They will be over 100,000 fans who will be chanting and roaring trying to intimidate the Flames." "We have been in contact with the panel and they are well aware of that fact. Mind games end with ball games." However, Nyirenda is confident the majority of Malawi players won't be affected by such atmosphere. "Majority of Flames players are playing in outside where they are used to such type of environment." "The likes of Mponda, Kanyenda and others are conditioned to that kind of environment and they will withstand the heat."
