Mozambique vs Algeria Prediction: The hosts won’t be able to stand the attacking threats from the Foxes

On Sunday, Mozambique will face off against Algeria at the Estadio Nacional do Zimpeto Stadium. Algeria maintained their unbeaten run, although with a poor display against Somalia. On the opposing side, Mozambique cruised past Botswana to secure their first three points of the tournament.

Mozambique

FIFA Ranking: 113th

Last two games: WWDLW

Mozambique were extremely belligerent in their approach to securing a space in the AFCON Tournament after picking up ten points from a possible eighteen. Chiquinho Conde's men head here with a sound display against Botswana on the road as they scored three times while the hosts responded twice to secure their first win of the tournament.

Despite the absence of one of their stars, Geny Catamo, the guests were able to perform exceptionally in front of goals but lacked coordination at the back.

Mozambique's last appearance in this competition earned them four points from a combined eighteen, but they have won three points already with nine games to be played.

Algeria

FIFA Ranking: 33th

Last five matches: DDWDW

The Desert Foxes were one of the four sides not to have tasted defeat in the AFCON qualifying round. They won the group after picking up sixteen points from a possible eighteen.

Algeria had a smooth sail in the tournament, winning five while sharing the spoils once.

Algeria head here following a (3-1) victory over Somalia on their own turf. The Desert Foxes were not at their best but managed to secure the maximum points.

They have been in excellent form recently, winning seven of their last fourteen games. Led by star players like Riyad Mahrez, Houssem Apiar and Ismael Bennacer, to mention a few, Algeria will be looking to dominate the game and secure a comfortable victory.

Expert Betting Tips

Their recent meeting ended in a slim (0-1) victory for the Desert Foxes on the road. Algeria have displayed defensive strength in recent matches, consistently securing wins on the road. At the same time, Mozambique have struggled at home of late. The Desert Foxes have won their last four games on the road, and we think they’ll take advantage of their opponent's lack of confidence at the back.

Mozambique have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four games, and the Desert Foxes, led by the seasoned Riyad Mahrez, are ready to explore their options here; bet on an away win and over 1.5 goals for 1.85.

We expect to see more than two goals here for 2.20.

Both teams might get a goal apiece for 2.45.

Good luck!
