Algeria and Mauritania, both looking to save their participation in the AFCON tournament in Ivory Coast, will go head-to-head on Tuesday at the Stade Bouake, with kickoff slated for 20:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Mauritania are on the brink of exiting AFCON at the first hurdle after going two matches winless in Group D. They have scored two goals and conceded four times, leading to losses so far, and zero points.
However, Mauritania have a chance of qualifying to the knockouts as one of the best third-placed sides in AFCON if they can pull off a win against Algeria on Tuesday, handing them three points on the table.
Algeria played a good match against Angola despite going down 2-2 draw against Burkina Fason, following the 1-1 draw against Angola in matchday one.
A win for Algeria will see them jump to five points, and potentially leapfrogging one of the top two if one of them wins in their one-on-one clash on Tuesday.
Bet hereAlgeria will be confident that their experience and quality will be crucial in driving them to a win, especially coming up against a Mauritania side that has failed to win any of their last six international outings.
Injury Report
Neither side has reported fresh injury worries ahead of their clash on Tuesday.
Prediction
Algeria are the football pick to win this match. They have the experience and have shown good form in Ivory Coast to show their quality. They will win and seal qualification to the AFCON knockout stages.
