Algeria Equatorial Guinea betting prediction

The home team makes its debut in this competition, since they had direct access and didn't have to go through any of the previous rounds. This is a team that, oddly enough, has had better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 11 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses in away matches; against 8 wins, 6 draws and 1 loss at their stadium. In their last match, for the WC Qualification Africa, they got an away win against Uganda by (1‑2). In the last 8 home matches Algeria has won 3, tied 4 and lost 1. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. There is a tendency for goals in their home matches, since 7 of the last 8 have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 6 out of 8 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 5 of their 14 matches, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Algeria has a poor track record against Equatorial Guinea, but it's crucial to put that aside. The teams have faced each other only once in the last three years, suggesting that the situation could be different in this encounter. With a focus on delivering a strong performance in the group stage, securing a victory is essential. Capitalizing on any scoring opportunities that arise will give the home team the best chance to overcome this challenge.
