Algeria vs Liberia Predictions

The hosts will want to finish on a good note at home. Both sides have nothing to play for here. I’m backing a home win with 2+ goals scored.

Algeria have won 5 of their last 6 matches.
Algeria have scored 2+ goals in 6 of their last 9 matches.
Liberia have lost 3 of their last 6 matches.
Liberia have lost 3 of their last 4 matches vs Algeria.

Head to Head

These nations have met on five previous occasions with three wins for Algeria and two draws.

When the sides last met in September, Algeria won 3-0 away in Liberia.

Algeria Form

Algeria have lost just two of their last 30 matches. They qualified for the next AFCON with two matches to spare after four straight wins.

In September, they beat Equatorial Guinea 2-0 and won 3-0 away versus Liberia. Two victories over Togo followed: 5-1 at home having trailed 1-0 and then 1-0 away.

On Thursday, a rotated XI could only draw 0-0 away to Equatorial Guinea. There was nothing riding on that match for Algeria.

Algeria Injuries & Team News

Coach Vladimir Petkovic has left out Nabil Bentaleb and Sofiane Feghouli. Ismaël Bennacer is absent due to injury.

Right back Youcef Atal was recalled after missing October’s matches but has since withdrawn. Houssem Aouar is not in the squad for this FIFA break.

Goalkeepers: Alexis Guendouz, Alexis Oukidja, Anthony Mandria

Defenders: Youcef Atal, Ryan Ait Nouri, Ahmed Touba, Ramy Bensebaini, Mohamed Amine Madani, Aissa Mandi, Mohamed Amine Tougai, Mohamed Fares, Jaouen Hadjam

Liberia Form

Liberia won their last match but it was too little, too late. They can’t reach the next AFCON and this match is therefore a dead rubber.

A 1-1 draw in Togo in the first qualifying match preceded consecutive defeats, 3-0 vs Algeria and 1-0 away vs Equatorial Guinea. A 2-1 loss to the same opponents proved a fatal setback.

On Wednesday, they restored some pride by beating Togo 1-0 at home. A 83rd minute penalty was needed to eke out that victory.
