The Sparrowhawks surrendered to their first defeat of the season against Algeria. Thibault Klije drew the first blood against the Desert Foxes; however, they conceded five times later in the game.

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous five meetings, Algeria have won four, while Togo have managed one win. Both teams met a few days ago, with Algeria outmuscling Togo in a six-goal thriller. 

Algeria already named a strong squad for this round, with Mahrez, Aouar, and Benraham training. At the same time, Togo will feature the same players for this encounter, as Kevin Denkey, Karim Dermane, and Etienne are expected to start upfront. 

Togo have not been at their best lately, and after their performance a few days ago, we think they'll be the second-best side here; bet on away halftime over 0.5 goals for 1.87.

We expect another open encounter with goals here; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.14.

Algeria will be at their best here; bet on an away win and over 1.5 goals for 2.10.

Good luck!
