Algeria will come into this game with confidence as a win in this game will surely book a spot for them in the next year's World Cup.

In the meantime, Mohamed Farsi Mohamed Amine Madani, Himad Abdelli, and Ismael Bennacer whose future at AC Milan is under consideration will be the big names missing out for Algeria due to injuries.

Botswana: Form and Statistics

Botswana are in a difficult position heading into this fixture and will hope they can do the impossible. Having only picked nine points in this qualifier with six coming against Somalia, Botswana now face another tough test in Algeria who got three past their net at their home ground.

Algeria vs Botswana Match Prediction 04 September 2025

Algeria have been on a top level in this World Cup qualifier and the quality in their squad is always what makes them unique. While Botswana have been giving their all which still puts them in a position of making it to the World Cup in June, a win in this game or playoff qualification might be the solution. However, this will be a tough game for the Botswana side after considering how Algeria overpowered them in the first leg. Therefore, at home, with the home team well favoured, I am backing them to win 2-0 at full time as Botswana will struggle to produce any meaningful performance in attack. 

Our match prediction is a -1.5 handicap for Algeria with odds at 1.61 on 1Xbet bookmaker. 

Our betting tip is a 2-0 correct score with odds at 4.75 on Bet365 bookmaker. 

Our final match prediction is a win for Algeria in both halves with odds at 1.66 on Betway bookmaker.
