Equatorial Guinea vs. Algeria: Match Preview
Equatorial Guinea is on a three-match unbeaten streak, drawing 2-2 with Togo and beating Liberia twice (1-0 and 2-1). Despite losing to Algeria in the first round, Equatorial Guinea is now second in its group and is five points clear of third place. They need one more win or draw to secure a spot in the AFCON finals. In the last tournament, Equatorial Guinea reached the playoffs but was eliminated in the Round of 16.
Algeria has been highly convincing in the AFCON qualifiers, currently holding the maximum 12 points, first place in the group, and a guaranteed place in the AFCON finals. In four matches, Algeria has conceded only one goal while scoring 11—an impressive tally, ranking as the second-highest in the 2025 AFCON qualifiers. It’s worth noting that in the previous tournament, Algeria failed to reach the playoffs, finishing last in its group.
Probable Lineups
Equatorial Guinea: Owono; Akapo, Fernandez, Aniebo, Ndong; Obiang, Ganet; Pepin, Eneme, Salvador; Nlavo
Algeria: Guendouz; Mandi, Tougaï, Bensebaini, Aït-Nouri; Mrezigue, Abdellaoui, Zerrouki; Amoura, Gouiri, Benzia
Prediction
Algeria has already secured its place in the AFCON finals. Equatorial Guinea is also close to achieving this milestone. However, I don’t see the hosts as favorites. The Algerians have a fantastic attack and solid defense. My bet is on an Algeria victory with odds of 1.88.
