Guinea vs Algeria Prediction: Both sides will score in this game

Guinea vs Algeria: Prediction and odds on the Match on 08 September 2025

Algeria will travel to the Mohammed V Stadium on Monday to cement their place at the 2026 FIFA World Cup against Guinea. The hosts secured a win in their last game against Algeria on the road. Can they repeat that feat here? Below is a match preview and well-analyzed betting opportunities.

Guinea: form and statistics

Guinea returned to winning ways with a 3-0 win over Somalia in their last game. Serhou Guirassy opened the scoring in the 22nd minute, before an own goal from Faisal Omar made it 2-0 in the 64th minute. Second-half substitute Ousmane Camara made it 3-0 in the 85th minute after just four minutes on the field. The win reignited their hope to make it to their first World Cup finals ever, but a win against Algeria can be a deciding factor in this aspiration, because mathematically, they can still pick up the automatic ticket in this group. At the moment, they sit 4th in Group G with ten points in seven games, scoring seven goals and conceding five. The National Elephants are two points off second place and eight points behind top-placed Algeria, with nine points left to fight for in the group. Interestingly, they defeated Algeria in the first leg of this encounter. With a win in this game, they will reduce the point game to five and pray Algeria loses their remaining games.

Guinea: Team News and Lineup

After an impressive display in their last game, Serhou Guirassy is expected to lead the attack once again in this clash in a 4-2-3-1 formation. The team did not report any injury in their last game, so the same lineup might feature here too.

Guinea Expected Lineup

Moussa Camara; Dembo Sylla, Mouctar Diakhaby, Antoine Conte, Issiaga Sylla; Mory Konate, Abdoulaye Touré, Seydouba Cisse, Morlaye Sylla, Aliou Balde; Serhou Guirassy.

👤 Head coach: Paulo Duarte

Algeria: form and statistics

Algeria are one step into the 2026 FIFA World Cup after a 3-1 win over Botswana in their last game. Mohamed Amoura scored the first goal of the game in the 33rd minute, but Botswana equalised ten minutes later. However, in the 71st minute, Baghdad Bounedjah restored the lead for the Greens before he got his brace in the 96th minute of the game. Algeria have now won ten of their last eleven games in all competitions. In the qualification phases, they have won six of their seven games, with the only loss coming from Guinea back in September. They currently sit top of Group G with 18 points in seven games, scoring 19 goals and conceding 7. The Fennecs need just one win from the remaining three games to book their automatic ticket into the World Cup.

Algeria: Team News and Lineup

Rayan Ait-Nouri is out of selection for this clash due to an injury, and Naoufel Khacef has been called to fill the gap. Regardless, I expect the same starting eleven in their last game here.

Algeria Expected Lineup

Alexis Guendouz; Youcef Atal, Aïssa Mandi, Mohamed Tougai, Ramy Bensebaini; Nabil Bentaleb, Houssem Aouar, Hicham Boudaoui; Mohamed El Amine Amoura, Riyad Mahrez, Amine Gouiri.

👤 Head coach:  Vladimir Petković

Guinea vs Algeria match prediction, 08 September 2025

Algeria enter this game with two things in mind. First, to avenge their 2-1 loss against Guinea in the first leg, and second, to pick up the ticket to the World Cup. With this, they are coming into this game with full force. They have only lost once in these qualification rounds, so they are fully motivated. However, the hosts are a team to beat, especially with the fans standing as their 12th man on the field. With this, I think both sides will find the back of the net, and the pendulum can swing either way.
