Algeria vs Togo Predictions

The form guide suggests that Algeria will have too much for Togo at home. The visitors are hard to beat but I see Algeria scoring 2+ goals in a victory.

Algeria are undefeated in 25 of their last 27 matches.
Algeria have won their last 3 matches.
Algeria have scored 2+ goals in 5 of their last 6 matches.
Togo have conceded in their last 7 matches.
Togo are winless in their last 5 matches.

Head to Head

Algeria hold a 2-1 lead over Togo across three previous meetings.

The sides last met in an AFCON qualifier in 2018 as Algeria won 4-1.

Algeria Form

Algeria have lost just twice in 27 matches. They crashed out in the group stages of the AFCON earlier this year but they’ve won both qualifiers so far for the next AFCON.

A shock 1-0 loss to Mauritania ended their AFCON involvement. After two friendlies, they lost 2-1 to Guinea in a World Cup qualifier in June.

A 2-1 win over Uganda in another World Cup qualifier followed. In September’s AFCON qualifiers, they beat Equatorial Guinea 2-0 and won 3-0 vs Togo in Monrovia.

Algeria Injuries & Team News

Nabil Bentaleb and Sofiane Feghouli have been left out in midfield. Riyad Mahrez has been recalled in attack.

Ismaël Bennacer has been called up despite not playing since September due to injury. Fares Chaibi is missing in the attack.

Goalkeepers: Osama Bin Bout, Alexis Kunduz, Zakaria Bouhalfaya

Defenders: Saïd Redouani, Mohamed Farsi, Rayan Ait Nouri, Joan Hajjam, Ahmed Touba, Mohamed Amine Madani, Mohamed Amine Tougay, Ramy Ben Sabaini, Issa Mandi

Midfielders: Ramez Zarrouqi, Ahmed Qandousi, Hisham Boudawi, Adam Zarqan, Houssem Aouar

Togo Form

Togo have lost just once in 12 matches but they’ve drawn six of their last eight. They are seven matches without a clean sheet.

With three points, they’re bottom of their World Cup qualifying group. In June, they drew 1-1 at home to South Sudan and lost 1-0 away to Congo DR.

In September’s AFCON qualifiers, they drew both matches. A 1-1 home draw vs Liberia was followed by a 2-2 draw in Equatorial Guinea after netting a 95th-minute equaliser.

Togo Injuries & Team News

Coach Nibombe Dare will lean heavily on Bayer Leverkusen’s youngster Sadik Fofana. Getafe’s Dakonam Djene has 78 caps and is key in the defence.

Al-Ain striker Kodjo Fo Doh Laba has netted 20 goals for Togo. He is absent due to an injury.
