PREDICTION

Mauritania faced consecutive defeats against Burkina Faso and Angola to to begin their Africa Cup of Nations group stage journey. Ranked 105th in the FIFA world rankings, they stand among the tournament's weaker sides. Algeria, on the other hand, have fallen short of expectations for the second consecutive AFCON campaign, despite a strong pre-tournament run. Djamel Belmadi's team, however, have the opportunity to secure knockout stage qualification with a victory in this match, which is expected.
