Algeria

Algeria hold a commanding head-to-head record against Niger with five wins and one draw across six encounters, including comprehensive victories of 6-1, 4-0, and 5-0. Niger have displayed clear offensive limitations, failing to score in three of four recorded matches and averaging just 0.3 goals per game. Algeria's high scoring rate across recent friendlies provides a substantial advantage that points strongly toward a home victory.

Algeria enter this fixture with momentum after a convincing 3-1 win over Zambia, led by the creative contributions of M. Amoura and goals from I. Maza and A. Hadj-Moussa. In contrast, Burundi struggled to create chances in their 1-0 defeat to Togo. In head-to-head encounters, Algeria have defeated Burundi in both past meetings, winning 4-0 in 2024 and 1-0 in 2019 without conceding. Backing Algeria to avoid defeat offers strong probability while accounting for the travel factor.
