Team News & Match Tips:

• Senegal is ranked 22nd by FIFA while Algeria is ranked 68th in the world.
• Senegal goalkeeper Edouard Mendy has been ruled out of the tournament after fracturing his hand.
• The biggest team news is that Senegal center-back Kalidou Koulibaly is suspended for this match.
• Algeria right-back Atal is out of the tournament with a fractured shoulder bone.
• Senegal have been very strong defensively in this tournament. Algeria have been better attacking wise.
• There are no major injury doubts for both sides.
• Sadio Mane has missed 2 penalties in this tournament already. He declared that he will not take penalties for Senegal for the rest of the AFCON. Here is the link.
• A lot of players such as Ismaila Sarr, Keita Balde, Adam Ounas, Yacine Brahimi and Islam Slimani can change the match from the bench.
• There is no clear favourite to win this match. I am slightly (very slightly) leaning towards Senegal.
• There will be a lot of Algerian fans in the crowd. That may have a bearing on the match.
• Earlier in this tournament, Algeria defeated Senegal 1-0 in the group stage with Belaili scoring the winner.
• My Prediction: Algeria 1-1 Senegal.
