One of the favourites to emerge with the silverware at this year's AFCON, Algeria will be targeting a smooth passage into the knockout stages after being grouped with Sudan, Burkina Faso and Equatorial Guinea. However, Les Fennecs won't be taking anything for granted considering they actually haven't won an AFCON match since defeating Senegal in the 2019 final, failing to advance from the group in five of the last seven editions. Meanwhile, the mere fact Sudan are competing at AFCON is a miraculous achievement when you consider the ongoing civil war in the country, which meant the Falcons of Jediane had to play all of their qualifying games on the road.

Sudan will fight hard, but there's an overwhelming gulf of class between these teams on the pitch, with Algeria equipped with immense attacking firepower, led by Riyad Mahrez and in-form Wolfsburg striker Mohamed Amoura. Sudan have struggled for goals and clearly lack some punch in the final third, so backing a comfortable win to nil for Algeria, with Amoura continuing his electric goalscoring form by finding the back of the net once again for his country.

Algeria vs Sudan Stats & Trends

Algeria are on a 16-match unbeaten streak inside 90 minutes
Algeria have prevailed by a 2+ goal margin in 13 of their last 14 victories
Sudan are 118th in the FIFA rankings and have just one win from their last 11 games
Sudan have failed to score in eight of their last 11 games
Sudan have failed to score in their last three AFCON opening games
Mohamed Amoura led the goalscoring charts with 10 in World Cup qualifying, while the striker also has six goals for Wolfsburg this season in the Bundesliga
Since September, Algeria have scored exactly three goals against the likes of Zimbabwe, Somalia and Botswana - teams of a similar quality to Sudan

Algeria vs Sudan Head To Head

Sudan actually have a solid record against Algeria, going unbeaten in five of the last eight meetings between the nations. The two teams met as recently as the Arab Cup last month, with the spoils shared in a 0-0 stalemate.

Algeria Form Analysis

Unbeaten in their last 16 games (inside 90 minutes), Algeria enter the AFCON as one of the form nations on the continent and a top contender to go all the way.

Vladimir Petkovic’s side were dominant in both World Cup and AFCON qualifying - they topped the former group by seven points, scoring a whopping 24 goals, which was second behind Ivory Coast, while they also finished eight points ahead of Equatorial Guinea in AFCON qualifying.

Algeria were most recently in action during the Arab Cup, where they defeated the likes of Bahrain and Iraq before being knocked out in the quarter-finals by the UAE on penalties.

Algeria Team News

Houssem Aouar has been withdrawn from the squad due to injury. Mahrez and Amoura are expected to combine for a lethal frontline.

Goalkeepers: Oussama Benbot (USM Alger), Anthony Mandrea (SM Caen), Luca Zidane (Granada)

Defenders: Rayan Ait-Nouri (Manchester City), Rafik Belghali (Hellas Verona), Youcef Atal (Al Saad), Mehdi Dorval (Bari), Aissa Mandi (Lille), Samir Chergui (Paris FC), Mohamed Tougai (ES Tunis), Ramy Bensebaini (Dortmund), Zinedine Belaid (US Kabylie), Jaouen Hadjam (Young Boys)

Midfielders: Ismael Bennacer (Dinamo Zagreb), Ramiz Zerrouki (FC Twente), Hicham Boudaoui (Nice), Fares Chaibi (Eintracht Frankfurt), Ibrahim Maza (Bayer Leverkusen), Adem Zorgane (Royale Union Saint-Gilloise)

Sudan Form Analysis

Sudan are competing at the AFCON for just the second time in the last seven editions and, realistically, will be hoping to battle it out with Burkina Faso and Equatorial Guinea for a spot in the knockout phase from Group E.

It was an incredible effort for Sudan to qualify for the AFCON - they secured their spot behind Angola by edging out Niger and Ghana in what was one of the toughest groups.

However, James Kwesi Appiah's side couldn't replicate the feat in World Cup qualifying, finishing third in another tough group that featured Senegal and Congo DR.

It's been a tough recent run of form for Sudan - they've won just one of their last 11 games, coming into this clash following back-to-back Arab Cup defeats to Iraq and Bahrain.

Sudan Team News

Mohamed Abdelrahman is the leading scorer for Sudan in this squad with 28 and will be the main man up front. Amar Yunis currently plays for Avondale FC in the Victorian NPL and could feature in midfield.

Defenders: Mohamed Saaed (Al Hilal OMD), Altayeb Abdelrazig (Al Hilal OMD), Mustafa Karshom (Al Hilal OMD, Yasser Awad (Al Hilal OMD), Bakhit Khamis (Al Ahli Tripoli), Mazin Mohamedein (Al Akhdar), Awad Zaid (Al-Merrikh SC), Ahmed Abdelmonem (Al Hilal OMD), Mohamed Kesra (Al-Merrikh SC)
