Algeria vs Nigeria Predictions - Super Eagles to advance at AFCON
The highly anticipated match between Algeria and Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations promises excitement as Algeria's formidable defense meets Nigeria's powerful offensive capabilities.

Expected lineups reveal strategic formations as both teams aim to capitalize on their strengths. The prediction leans slightly in favor of Nigeria, considering their explosive attack led by Osimhen.
- Algeria are unbeaten in their last 20 matches.
- Nigeria leads scoring with 12 goals in 4 matches.
- Victor Osimhen could be a key player for Nigeria.

Algeria vs Nigeria Predictions
This contest could really go either way. Algeria are very strong and don't let many goals in while Nigeria have the best attack in the tournament. I am backing the Super Eagles to advance.

Algeria Form
Algeria are unbeaten in 20 matches and won all three group games at the Africa Cup of Nations, beginning with a 3-0 win against Sudan. Riyad Mahrez scored the opening two goals in a man of the match performance.
Mahrez scored again in a 1-0 victory over Burkina Faso as they survived a late onslaught in Rabat.
Vladimir Petkovic overhauled his team against Equatorial Guinea but it made little difference. Zineddine Belaid, Fares Chaibi and Ibrahim Maza scored in the opening 32 minutes as Algeria cruised to a 3-1 victory.
Algeria Predicted Lineup & News
Algeria (4-2-3-1) Luca Zidane; Rafik Belghali, Aissa Mandi, Ramy Bensebaini, Rayan Ait-Nouri; Hicham Boudaoui, Ismael Bennacer; Riyad Mahrez, Ibrahim Maza, Fares Chaibi; Mohammed Amoura
Algeria lost Ismael Bennacer to injury against DR Congo which should see Himad Abdelli start in midfield. Anis Hadj Moussa is suspended.
Nigeria Form
Nigeria failed to keep a clean sheet in the group stage but managed to win all three matches. Alex Iwobi assisted Semi Ajayi and Ademola Lookman in a 2-1 win against Tanzania.
Lookman was the star of the show against Tunisia, assisting Victor Osimhen and Wilfred Ndidi before scoring himself to establish a 3-0 lead. Eric Chelle’s side conceded twice but held on for a 3-2 victory and seal a spot in the Round of 16.
The Super Eagles were far too good for Uganda who were reduced to 10 men before the hour mark. Samuel Chukwueze provided two goals for Raphael Onyedika following Paul Onuachu’s opener, securing a comfortable 3-1 win in Fez.
Nigeria turned on the style against Mozambique, completely outplaying their opponents in a 4-0 victory. They had 2.82-0.10 xG with their front three on fire, Lookman and Akor Adams finding the net alongside a brace to Osimhen.
Nigeria Predicted Lineup & News
Nigeria (4-3-1-2) Stanley Nwabali; Bright Osayi-Samuel, Semi Ajayi, Igoh Ogbu, Bruno Onyemaechi; Frank Onyeka, Wilfred Ndidi, Alex Iwobi; Ademola Lookman; Victor Osimhen, Akor Adams
Calvin Bassey is suspended here with Igoh Ogbu or Chidozie Awaziem to partner Semi Ajayi in central defence.
Verdict
Nigeria are the top scorers at the Africa Cup of Nations, netting 12 goals in four matches. Algeria deserve a lot of respect and Nigeria are combustible, but I think that Victor Osimhen will prove decisive for the Super Eagles.
