Algeria closes its CAN qualifying matches this Thursday with the reception of Tanzania, second in the group.
The Algerian team, well ahead of its group, plays its last CAN qualifying match this Thursday, September 7. The Fennecs, leaders with 15 points and 5 victories in as many matches, receive Tanzania, second in the group with 7 points and who need a draw to ensure their qualification. No decisive issue therefore for the Algerians, but their opponents will do everything to obtain the best possible result, monitoring the match between Niger and Uganda, who can still hope to qualify in the event of victory and if Tanzania loses in the same time.
Belmadi’s men will be without Houssem Aouar, injured during his last match with AS Roma against AC Milan. Striker Baghdad Bounedjah did not train with the group and is doubtful for this meeting. Niçois Badredine Bouanani and Hicham Boudaoui could start the match, as could the experienced Sofiane Feghouli (76 caps), recalled after more than a year and a half of absence from the selection. Coach Djamel Belmadi complained about the state of the pitch at the Stade du 19 Mai 1956, which was painted in places to hide its dryness, and decided to train his players on an adjoining pitch to preserve it.
The kick off of the Algeria-Tanzania match will be given this Thursday, September 7 at 9:00 p.m. at the Stade du 19 Mai 1956, in Annaba, Algeria.
The Algeria-Tanzania match will be watched live on the beIN Sports 2 TV channel.
