Algeria vs Kenya Prediction & Betting tips
The desert fox spread fear and terror – in the footballing sense. That was at least a few years ago, when the team from Algeria at the 2014 World Cup offered great football and had the eventual champion Germany on the verge of defeat. The North Africans were predicted a great future. However, this team has not lived up to expectations in recent years. In 2017, the Algerians were eliminated in the African Cup in the preliminary round. At the 2018 World Cup in Russia, only the spectator role remained. Now Djamel Belmadi will lead the team back to more successful shores. Whether this mission succeeds, will show the Africa Cup in Egypt.
The Algerians have to kick off Kenya on the lawn. The desert foxes should be in the role of favorites, because especially in Egypt, the North Africans will be very strong. Therefore, in the duel between Algeria and Kenya, we would rather make a forecast for a victory for the Algerians. For African standards, the desert foxes bring a star ensemble on the lawn. That’s not the case with the Harambee stars from Kenya. With Vincent Wanyama, the Kenyans are basically just a real star in the squad. For the Kenyans are likely to be very fit.
After all, many of the best long-distance runners come from this country. But if we confine ourselves to the football, speaks in the duel between Algeria and Kenya much for a tip on the desert foxes. Group C will be completed with teams from Senegal and Tanzania. The first two teams go straight for a round and as in the Women’s World Cup qualify also the four best group third for the round of 16. Every point counts, especially for the Kenyans, because Senegal and Algeria should be the favorites in this pool. We will see on Sunday whether the North Africans will fill this role with life. The kick-off for the group match at the Africa Cup 2019 between Algeria and Kenya in the stadium of June 30th of Cairo will take place on 23.06.2019 at 21:00 o’clock.
Algeria:
Many players of the big team of 2014 are still in the squad of Algerians today. Actually, it is hard to understand why this team has stayed so far behind its own possibilities in recent years. Probably the climate inside the team simply did not vote. Djamel Belmadi has therefore taken out some players who would actually belong on the basis of the footballing qualities in the team. So you look for players like us Sapphire Taider, Nabil Bentaleb, Ryad Boudebouz or Ishak Belfodil in vain in the squad. The coach puts more emphasis on the collective. Therefore, Belmadi will also be measured by the success of the Africa Cup. The last results were very neat. The Algerians have been undefeated for six games and were able to prevail against the Asian champions from Qatar and their neighbors from Tunisia. These results are also an indication that it is a duel between Algeria and Kenya to take a close look at the odds of winning the Desert Fox.
Also in the last test match the Algerians made a good impression. Djamel Belmadi selected Mali to simulate the style of Senegal. After the 3-2 victory, he could draw some positive findings. On offense, it works quite well, although superstar Riyad Mahrez only played in the last half hour. Youcef Belaili, Baghdad Bounedjah and Andy Delort were the scorers.
But defensively, it is still a little more stable. In approaches but also worked very well there, because much more than the two chances that led to hits, Mali had not. That’s why Djamel Belmadi sees himself well prepared for the opening match against Kenya.
The match plan is over and the squad should, in the opinion of the coach, be able to implement it. Personally, we expect the Algerians with full chapel, which means that Riyad Mahrez will play as well from the beginning as Islam Slimani, who was completely spared against Mali. Therefore, we can probably adjust to one or the other goal of the desert foxes.
Kenya:
Kenya is also such a team that could benefit from the increase in the field of participants in the African Cup. For the first time since 2004, the Harambee Stars are back at the continental championships. However, the qualification was not the big challenge. In the group of four with Ghana, Ethiopia and Sierra Leone the latter team was excluded, so that two tickets for three teams were left. So the Kenyans got the participation in this year’s African Cup almost served on the silver platter. Overall, coach Sebastien Migne was very satisfied with the performance in recent months. In the last seven internationals, there was only one defeat for Kenya. These were cashed in the guest performance in Ghana, where you can quite lose. Kenya is therefore with relatively broad chest in the tournament, although not a single player already has experience with the African Cup. This inexperience causes us to make a prediction on a victory of the desert fox in the game between Algeria and Kenya.
The preparation was carried out by the Kenyans in France. For Sebastien Migne, it was the best place, although not a single player in the squad is under contract in France. In the last two test matches, there was first a victory over the African Cup debutants from Madagascar. The last Harambee Stars have completed the last weekend against the DR Congo. In the 1: 1 Kenya has presented very neat.
For a long time it even looked like a victory. Michael Olunga brought his team after half an hour 1-0 to the front. Only in the final minutes came the DR Congo to compensate.
Coach Sebastien Migne measures the last test matches but not too important. For him, the focus is entirely on the encounter with Algeria. There he expects that his team can surprise in the current constitution.
