Mauritania vs Algeria Prediction and Match Preview

Algeria was widely expected to start this campaign with victories, but to the surprise of all, they started off this season with two consecutive draws. They drew 2-2 in their last match against Burkina Faso and 1-1 against Angola in the opening match to drop into third in the Group D standings. The team will hope to gain a positive momentum on Tuesday as they face the worst in the group, Mauritania, in their next league match.

• The Algerian side can rely on their recent recordings as the team follows a 15-match unbeaten streak across all competitions.
• Mauritania is on a six-match winless streak across all competitions and lost their opening two AFCON matches.
• Do also note that the opening match of both teams during this AFCON season had goals under 2.5 ft.

Algeria almost lost their last AFCON match as the opposition was leading the scoreboard till the injury time goal from Bounedjah, which helped them to bag one point. Bounedjah scored all the three goals of Algeria. Moving on, they are now on a 15-match unbeaten streak across all competitions, which will definitely boost them with spirits here.

Meanwhile, Mauritania’s defeat against Angola and Burkina Faso extended their winless run to six games. They have lost four matches in that stretch too. By the looks of things, we expect a very hard test for the hosting Mauritania side at Stade de la Paix.

Recent Meetings

• These two have locked horns just five times in the past and Algeria was unbeaten in all.
• In fact, Algeria won four five matches and has kept the opponent goalless in three.

Mauritania vs Algeria Prediction

Mauritania lost three of the past five home matches, which adds more to the reasons to back Algeria here. Meanwhile, Algeria lost just twice in the past 15 away matches across all competitions. Do also note that three of the past five road trips of Algeria had goals under 2.5 ft.

Knowing that Algeria sealed a clean sheet victory in three of their total five head-to-head clashes, we like to suggest Algeria to win and both teams to score no tip as the main pick for this match. For the second pick, we like to suggest the under 2.5 goals tip considering the goal trend of Algeria on the road.
