Nigeria: Algeria will face Nigeria tomorrow in a friendly match at the Miloud Hadefi Olympic Complex. Meanwhile, Algeria didn’t qualify for the world cup as they lost to Cameroon at Blida Stadium. Algeria succeeds in obtaining 14 points out of 18. During the first leg, Algeria picked up a 1-0 win before being defeated at home in the second with a 2-1, which devastated their hopes to play in the Fifa World cup 2022 in Qatar.
Nigeria has suffered the same consequences after they got knocked out in the playoffs due to away goal rule. In the playoffs, Ghana and the Super Eagles drew 1-1 and 0-0, respectively, with no goals scored in each leg. After participating in the last three World Cups, the Super Eagles will not be attending this one in Qatar.
Both teams are disappointed about not playing in the world cup, but they try to put everything behind them and obtain the victory to regain the team’s confidence and give their fans a reason to be happy and cheer for their country.
Algeria vs Nigeria Head-to-Head
Algeria and Nigeria have met twenty-one times. Each team has nine victories, while their other three meetings have resulted in draws. Last time, these two nations faced each other in a friendly match at Jaques Lemans Arena in Austria. During the game, Ramy Bensebaini, the Algerian defender, scored an early goal in the 6’th minute. Their strong defence didn’t let Nigerian stickers even score an equalizer and ensured their victory at 1-0.
Algeria vs Nigeria Team
Algeria: Abdelkader Bedrane came off injured last time, and it’s still unclear whether he plays. Villarreal’s Aissa Mandi should replace him. No one is going through any suspension, and every reserve will be present.
Nigeria: Nigeria has a lengthy list of injured players, including William Troost-Ekong, Semi Ajayi, Wilfred Ndidi, Henry Onyekuru and Victor Osimhen. Ahmed Musa and Samuel Chukwueze are expected to be absent due to health issues.
predictions
Algeria has won six of their last seven games overall and has a winning run of five games. They have won their past four home games without allowing a goal so they will be confident in their prospects.
Nigeria’s most recent defeat, which marked their sixth winless outing in their previous eight games across competitions, stopped a string of back-to-back victories. They have lost their last three meetings in this series, and they could also lose this one.
