Algeria vs Cameroon prediction, preview, team news and more | 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers

Algeria and Cameroon will square off at the Stade Mustapha Tchaker for the sceond leg of their 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers playoff tie.

The hosts hold the advantage in the tie, having secured a 1-0 away win in the first leg last Friday. Islam Slimani scored the winning goal with a 40th-minute header to help the Desert Foxes leave Limbe with a valuable win.

Cameroon paid the price for a dire first-half performance that saw them fail to register a single shot. They upped the ante in the second half but a resolute defensive display from Algeria saw them hold the fort.

The North Africans will be looking to wrap up the job in front of their fans when they welcome the Indomitable Lions on Tuesday.

The winner of the tie will secure their spot in the group stage of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar.
