Tanzania vs Algeria Prediction & Betting tips
At the Africa Cup of Nations there were in the previous rounds in the preliminary round again and again surprises by clear outsiders. In Group C it does not look like such a big surprise anymore. In the upcoming comparison between Tanzania and Algeria, the forecast of the paper form also seems quite clear. It is already a huge success for Tanzania that you could actually qualify for this year’s African Cup.
However, after two previous defeats in this group stage, Tanzania has at most theoretical chances to progress as one of the four best third placed players. Most recently, coach Ammunike’s side showed a good performance against Kenya, but narrowly lost. So far, things have been going a lot better for Algeria, which is in first place in the group after two victories. In the last group match against Senegal it was enough to the delight of coach Belmadi to a narrow success. However, it remains to be seen whether the Algerians will actually allow themselves a slip-up in this final group match. The match will take place on Monday evening at Al Salam Stadium in Cairo, where the kick-off will take place at 20:00.
Tanzania:
Tanzania was once represented at the Africa Cup of Nations in the past. However, that is already a felt eternity back. In 1980 Tanzania resigned after two defeats and a draw after the preliminary round, the then 1-1 draw against Ivory Coast was definitely a great success for the country. This time again everything points to an early departure. Already in the first group match against Senegal they noticed the team of coach Ammunike the lack of penetration in the offensive. Tanzania had to concede a goal in both halves and lost 2-0 at the end of the match.
On Thursday, Tanzania was able to keep up with Kenya much better and with a bit more luck could have scored some countable. Finally, Tanzania initially made a dream start and went after six minutes by a goal by Simon Msuva in the lead. After an interim equalizer then provided Mbwana Samatta by his goal for a 2-1 half-time lead.
Samatta is definitely one of the most prominent players in Tanzania and has made a positive impact on Racing Genk with 23 goals in the last season. In Belgium, the 26-year-old attacker has even been voted the best African player of the season. In the second half, however, national coach Ammunike’s team were unable to defend their lead and went down 2-3 on offense at the final whistle.
Algeria:
The Algerian national team is one of the favorites in this year’s Africa Cup of Nations. To go ahead and lead the team at this tournament Riyad Mahrez. In 2019, the Algerians completed a total of three friendlies. Algeria remained undefeated and won against Tunisia (1-0) and Mali (3-2). Only against Burundi it was enough in a test match only for a draw.
For Africa, Algeria is initially required in preliminary group C. The team of national coach Belmadi has to do with Kenya, Senegal and Tanzania. Algeria have already completed two group matches and earned six points.
In the first game against Kenya Algeria sat the characters in the first round on three points. Finally it was after goals by Baghdad Bounedjah and Riyad Mahrez with a 2-0 lead in the half-time break. In the second half, the Algerians let it go a bit looser, but you could bring the lead from the first round confidently to the finish.
Last Thursday, they played Senegal in the top spot in Group C. In this match on equal footing, it was initially with a goalless draw in the break. But just minutes after the restart, It was Youcef Belaili who brought his side into the lead. Until the final whistle Algeria was then sure of the defensive and did not concede a goal more. After these two successes Algeria leads the group with six points and has the ticket for the round of the last sixteen already in the bag. Nevertheless, the Algerians want to keep their white vest with another success and move in as sovereign group winners in the next round. So far, Algeria not only impressed on offense but also with a strong defense and did not concede a goal.
