Algeria are one of the best African football teams. However, they are not on their usual level in 2024, as Vladimir Petkovic's team won only two of the last seven matches, including friendlies. The head coach, Petkovic, who had great success in Swiss football, is trying to implement his ideas, but it seems that things are far from ideal at the moment. In the previous game, Algeria won 2-1 on the road against Uganda. The teams were pretty even, but the guests found a way to pick up all three points and record a win that could help to regain confidence.
Equatorial Guinea's best football result in history is fourth place in the Africa Cup of Nations in 2015. Juan Micha's team is probably far from the Algerian level, but they are playing much better than expected recently. Equatorial Guinea lost only three of the last nine matches. In the previous game, they won 1-0 at home against Malawi. The biggest problem in the Equatorial Guinea game is scoring goals. If they solve that, they would be on a much higher level.
Algeria vs Equatorial Guinea pick: Equatorial Guinea to cover AH +1.5 spread
Equatorial Guinea had problems in the attack recently, but they rely on their well-organized defense. Juan Micha's team could cause a lot of problems for Algeria on Thursday night.
Algeria team news
The big news for Algeria is that Riyad Mahrez is returning to the squad. The experienced winger, who announced retirement from the national team, is playing for Al-Ahli at the moment and is ready to come back and help his team. Last season, Mahrez finished with 11 goals and 14 assists in the Saudi Arabian league. Besides him, Algeria will heavily rely on Rayan Ait-Nouri, Ismael Bennacer, Amine Gouiri, and Said Benrahma.
