Game Prediction
Only in the middle of this month did the African Cup of Nations start again, but the group stage is already coming to an end. The next matches of the third round will take place on Tuesday. Among them, the national teams of Mauritania and Algeria will play. The readers of the site are offered a detailed forecast for the match on January 23, 2024.
Mauritania is back for the third tournament in a row
The "Lions of Chinguetti" cannot boast a strong lineup. Even now, the very few legionnaires playing in Europe represent Arad, Bellinzona, Châteauroux, Gengam, Docks, at most - Saint-Truiden, from where Koita came. However, a certain stability has emerged: debuting at the AFCON in 2019, they arrived for the next tournament. However, unlike the previous one, they lost everything here with a couple of draws. This time, Burkina Faso snatched a victory with a penalty from Bertrand Traoré in the 96th minute. They even scored twice against Angola, but what's the use if the opponent still won 3-2.
Algeria came to the Cup with the hope of redeeming the previous failure
The "Desert Foxes" confirmed the strength of the current generation led by Mahrez by winning the continental championship in 2019. However, they followed an interesting and quite long tendency, where the winner of the previous AFCON fails in the next one. Here, in the last tournament, the favorite took only 1 point and scored 1 goal in 3 matches. This time they did the same in the first round, quickly opening the scoring but failing to hold the advantage against Angola, finishing 1-1. With Burkina Faso, on the contrary, they were trailing 0-1 and 1-2, but in the 95th minute, Bounedjah, the experienced striker from Al-Sadd, scored a "brace" and squeezed a draw in this match. Now, in the final round, it is advisable to win - just as the opponent needs.
Previous matches
The first 4 matches between the national teams brought victories to the "Desert Foxes". However, the latest friendly meeting at the end of 2022 ended in a goalless draw.
