Equatorial Guinea vs Algeria Prediction and Betting Tips | November 14th 2024

Equatorial Guinea will host Algeria at the Estadio de Malabo on Thursday in the fifth round of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers. The home side will be looking to seal their qualification with a win against the visitors, who have already qualified.

Equatorial Guinea head into the first match of the international break sitting in second place in Group E, five points clear of Togo in third place. The hosts' 2-1 victory over Liberia in the last round took their record in the qualifiers to two wins, one draw and one defeat, with that loss coming against Thursday's visitors in September. They will be looking to exact revenge this week.

Algeria have won each of their last five international fixtures, four of which were AFCON qualification matches. Their 1-0 victory over Togo last time out put them atop Group E with 12 points from an obtainable 12 and guaranteed qualification with two games to go.

While they have nothing to play for on Thursday, the visitors will hope to continue their winning streak when they travel to Equatorial Guinea.

Equatorial Guinea vs Algeria Prediction

The hosts are on a run of back-to-back victories after winning just one of their previous five outings. They will be looking to get an unlikely victory on Thursday but will know that a point could be enough to seal qualification, depending on the outcome of the other match in their group.

Algeria are in top form and will head into the midweek clash with no pressure to secure a positive result. However, they are the stronger side ahead of Thursday's game and should come out on top.

Prediction: Equatorial Guinea 0-2 Algeria
