PREDICTION

Beginning their Africa Cup of Nations group stage with consecutive losses to Burkina Faso and Angola, Mauritania, ranked 105th by FIFA, is considered one of the tournament's less formidable teams. In contrast, Algeria, despite underperforming for the second consecutive AFCON, have a chance to advance to the knockout stages. Djamel Belmadi's team needs a win in this match to secure qualification, and they are anticipated to achieve it.
