Algeria vs Equatorial Guinea Predictions

• None of Algeria’s last seven games produced over 3.5 total goals.
• Algeria are unbeaten in over 25 games, though the exact amount is disputed.
• Only one Equatorial Guinea game since September 2019 produced four or more goals.

The reigning champions can bounce back

A goalless draw in a game they were expected to win handily on the opening day did 2019 AFCON champions Algeria no favours, though they know that victory here is crucial as a heavyweight encounter with the Ivory Coast awaits following this clash.

If they can score, Algeria should really come out on top in this clash as their defence has proven themselves to be solid as a rock lately, evidenced by their run of over 300 minutes of play without conceding once.

A big ask for the National Thunder

While Equatorial Guinea are unbeaten in five of their last six games, which includes a 1-0 win over former AFCON champions Tunisia, they are simply not up to the same standard Algeria, a side comparable to the Ivory Coast outfit that defeated Equatorial Guinea without reply last time out.

All in all, I predict that the Algerians will get their first win in their defence of the AFCON trophy in this game, though given the low-scoring nature of the lion’s share of games at this competition so far, adding under 3.5 total match goals to the main selection allows us to squeeze value from the pick.
