Algeria - Cameroon, Picks and Tips
With an attack led by Slimani, recently transferred from Lyon to Sporting, and Manchester City's Mahrez, Algeria struck a blow against Cameroon. It was 1-0 thanks to Slimani's first-half strike, the player who in seven appearances for Sporting has already scored four goals and provided a crucial assist. Qualification for the World Cup in Qatar would make Algeria's disappointing performance at the 2022 Africa Cup of Nations forgotten. It was in Cameroon that the final tournament was held, where the Algerians failed to qualify from the first round of the competition in a group with Sierra Leone, Equatorial Guinea and Ivory Coast. A draw with Sierra Leone and two defeats was the record of Algeria, who left the competition by the back door as last-placed team. Before Algeria - Cameroon, the hosts had not lost at home for at least three years! There have been either wins or draws against other African nations.
Cameroon have top-class attacking players and will need to find the back of the net in the return leg in Algeria to have a chance of qualifying for the 2022 World Cup. Lyon's Toko Ekambi has seven goals this season in 23 appearances for the French side. Bayern reserve Choupo Moting was also in attack on the tour, with four goals in 15 Bundesliga appearances. And Vincent Aboubakar, now at Al Nasr, was Cameroon's man of the match at the Africa Cup of Nations, hosted by the 'untamed lions', who finished third and took the bronze medal. Cameroon's coach is none other than Rigobert Song, the player with the most appearances for the national team.
