Algeria continues their quest for a place at the 2026 World Cup when they travel to face Guinea at the Mohammed V Stadium on Monday.
The visitors sit firmly in control of Group G, while the hosts know only a victory will keep their slim qualification chances intact.
Guinea claimed a comfortable 3-0 win over Somalia in their most recent qualifier, with goals from Serhou Guirassy, an own goal from Faisal Omar and a late strike from substitute Ousmane Camara sealing the result.
That victory brought their tally to 10 points from seven matches, leaving them fourth in Group G with three wins, one draw and three defeats.
The Syli National have managed seven goals while conceding five, but remain outsiders for qualification as they sit eight points behind Algeria.
Algeria, meanwhile, continued their strong form with a 3-1 victory over Botswana on Thursday – Mohamed Amoura opened the scoring in the 33rd minute before Botswana equalised just before half time through Tebogo Kopelang.
That win completed a double over Botswana, having beaten them by the same scoreline away from home in March.
Guinea have shown they can trouble Algeria, as their 2-1 win in the reverse fixture proved, but their inconsistency in front of goal has left them adrift in the qualification race.
Algeria, by contrast, are in commanding form and boast superior attacking options.
