Algeria have looked very strong in the tournament to date, winning both of their games to nil. With qualification seemingly out of reach for Equatorial Guinea, I see another win to nil for Algeria.

Head to Head

During the 2021 AFCON tournament, Equatorial Guinea shocked Algeria with a 2-0 win. However, since then. Algeria have beaten Equatorial Guinea 2-0 and drew 0-0 last time out.

Equatorial Guinea Form

Equatorial Guinea have lost both of their opening two AFCON games and qualification for the round of 16 now looks beyond them.

Despite some good results ahead of the tournament, Equatorial Guinea have not been quite at it recently. In their opener, despite going at man down against Burkina Faso, they took a 1-0 lead in the 85th minute, only to conceded twice in injury time.

In their last outing, a game against Sudan that they were expected to win, Equatorial Guinea came up short again, losing 1-0. Despite having 16 shots at goal and 65% possession, Equatorial Guinea could only fire two shots on target. Sudan scored through a Saul Coco own goal in the 74th minute.

Algeria Form

Algeria have already secured qualification to the next round and look very unlikely to finish anywhere other than top given their goal difference.

In their opening game, Algeria dominated against 10-man Sudan, winning the game 3-0. Their toughest game of the group came next against Burkina Faso where a Riyad Mahrez penalty in the 23rd minute settled the tie.

The former Manchester City winger has scored three goals in the opening two games.

Equatorial Guinea vs Algeria Team News

Equatorial Guinea: Even a victory is unlikely to see Equatorial Guinea advance as one of the best third place finishers, unless something dramatic happens.

Algeria: Algeria have already qualified for the round of 16 which could see them rest a couple of key players. They should still have plenty of quality though.

Verdict

Equatorial Guinea v Algeria

Algeria are backed to win to nil. A 2-0 scoreline is tipped.
