In a fierce matchup against the Elephants of Ivory Coast, Algeria showed great resolve to win 1-0 at the Nelson Mandela Stadium on Friday. Aymen Mahious scored from 12 yards out late in the game for Madjid Bougherra’s team in Baraki, despite both teams having players sent off.
As a result, the Fennec Foxes have not conceded a goal in any of their last four games, demonstrating their stability on both sides of the field. Next up is a challenge from an opposing team that has lost seven of its previous eight competition matches and won just one.
Algeria will undoubtedly be hoping to go all the way in the current edition with their fans cheering them on after surpassing their best finish ever at CHAN. In Saturday’s matchup at the Miloud Hadefi Stadium, Niger prevailed 2-0 over the Black Stars of Ghana to win comfortably.
Prediction
We say: Algeria vs. Niger, 1-0: Given that both teams’ defenses have been nearly impenetrable recently, we anticipate a nervous and cagey contest. Having said that, we also back Algeria to finish the job and keep trying to win glory on their own turf.
Head to head
It is important to keep in mind the teams’ most recent matches when making a prediction for Algeria vs. Niger. In 2021, during World Cup qualifying in Qatar, the teams met. Algeria pulled off an outrageous victory in both contests: 6:1 at home, 4:0 on the road.

Team News
Alexis Guendouz of Algeria was given the all-clear for a professional handball the previous game, and as a result, the goalkeeper is out for Tuesday’s match.
This means that Farid Chaal should play between the sticks for his first international appearance since 2016 and only his first start of the tournament.
Nasser Garba, who is 31 years old, was forced off the field in the first half of Niger’s victory over Ghana due to an injury.
In the event that Garba is found to be unfit to participate, Abdoul Kassali will likely start this fight and compete with Idrissa Karimou.
