Algeria vs Angola Prediction Match Details

The first match of Group D at the 2023 AFCON will see Algeria square off against Angola at the Stade de la Paix Stadium on Monday.

Algeria Preview & Form

Algeria have participated in the AFCON tournament twenty times, but they have only managed to win it twice in their history, with their most recent victory being in 2019. They had a disappointing performance in their defence for the title in the 2021 editions, where they were eliminated from the group stage, finishing at the bottom of the Group E standings with one point.

The Desert Foxes enter the tournament with confidence, having cruised through the qualifiers. They were first in their group after picking up sixteen points from winning five matches and drawing once.

The two-time African champions haven’t lost a match in almost a year, with their last defeat coming in February last year against Senegal on penalties. Coming into the Afcon match, they have recorded 10 wins and three draws from their last 13 matches, and they will look to capitalise on this present form.

Angola Preview & Form

Angola will be hoping to make it into the next round after failing to qualify for the last AFCON edition. Their previous three appearances at the tournament have seen them eliminated at the group stage of the tournament.

The Giant Sable Antelopes struggled in the qualifier for this tournament, winning twice, losing once, and playing draws in three games.

Angola, coming into this tournament, will look to drop their recent performance to qualify for the next round of the tournament. In their last six matches, Angola have drawn five matches, with four of them ending in goalless and having a comfortable 3-0 win in the friendly match against Bahrain.

Key Player to Watch

Riyad Mahrez, the captain of the team, is having an impressive season at Al-Ahli and for his country, scoring four goals in seven of his last appearances for Algeria.

35-year-old Islam Slimani is another key player to watch, as he have scored in all of his last two matches played for Algeria.

Gelson Dala will come into the tournament with good form, scoring goals in three of his last four matches for his club, Al-Wakra.

Algeria vs Angola Betting Tips

Both teams have struggled in their last five games, as they have both played three draws, with Algeria winning once and Angola winning once. We believe that in the game, both teams might share a point in the first 45 minutes.
