Equatorial Guinea's recent form has been decent, with a strong attack. However, their defense has shown vulnerabilities, only keeping clean sheets against lower-ranked opponents. Their away performances have been weaker, with a less potent attack and less defensive stability. Their squad is relatively intact. The coach is unhappy with the team's current performance and has demoted key players, bringing in younger players. Equatorial Guinea appears to be focused on developing new players in this match. Algeria will be without key players, impacting their attacking ability. The absence of players has significantly reduced the team's ability to create chances. However, the return of Cherki to the midfield improves counter-attacking efficiency. Facing a team in a 'fighting spirit' can lead to increased motivation, potentially exploiting defensive weaknesses. The Algeria coach is emphasizing a defensive strategy, aiming for a positive result. With Algeria already qualified, few of their key players are expected to start this match.
