"Last seen missing out on what they had billed as a potential opportunity as they slumped to a toothless 1-0 loss against Sudan, the Red Devils sit rock-bottom of the Group E standings and they have failed to put a single point on the board. Getting their festive adventure underway with a 2-1 defeat at the hands of Burkina Faso, Juan Micha's camp will be more than aware that they face a monumental challenge on Wednesday afternoon."
"Shockingly failing to punch an AFCON ticket for the Ivory Coast two years ago, Algeria found themselves at the heart of what was a real crisis. However, getting their adventure over in Morocco underway with a real flurry, the Greens have come roaring back in a stellar fashion and are regarded as a potential title dark horse over the next few weeks."
Algeria recovered from missing AFCON two years ago to win their opening two Group E matches and approach the Equatorial Guinea game aiming to secure knockout-stage qualification. Algeria opened with a routine 3-0 win over Sudan and have won four of their previous five matches across competitions, with momentum boosted by World Cup qualification and a positive camp under Vladimir Petkovic. Equatorial Guinea sit bottom of Group E without a point after defeats by Burkina Faso and Sudan and a 2-0 pre-tournament loss to Madagascar. The Red Devils have recorded only one competitive victory since March and managed just one goal in over 300 minutes, highlighting severe attacking struggles.
