It is with an air of revenge on theAlgeria
will tackle their match against Equatorial Guinea this Thursday evening to kick off their qualifying campaign for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. This opponent has indeed left a bitter memory for the Fennecs since they ended their unbeaten run in 2022. Despite this tough opposition, Algeria remains the favourite in this match.
The event of the day will also be the return to the national team of Riyad Mahrez. Vladimir Petkovic, the current coach of Algeria, had launched his mandate without his technical leader a few months ago. An explanation took place between the two men, recently, in Saudi Arabia, and Mahrez was won over by the technician’s speech. To the great delight of the Greens, who will need their emblematic leader in this period of transition.
The expected compositions
Algeria : Oukidja – Atal, Mandi, Bensebaini, Ait-Nouri – Bennacer, Aouar, Zerrouki – Benrahma, Benzia, Mahrez.
Equatorial Guinea : Owono – Ndong, Coco, Fernandez, Akpo – Ganet, Mascarell – Miranda, Obiang, Salvador – Nlavo.
