Algeria will be content with their form in recent matches. In their last six games, they have earned four victories to go with a defeat and a draw. So far, in this competition, Algeria have only managed victories by a one goal margin. This could pose problems for them if they fall behind early in the knockout stages. On the brighter side, Algeria will be proud that they have been able to hold these one goal margins and will argue that it is a good sign of their efficiency.
Ivory Coast have endured way too inconsistent and mixed results in their recent games. They have managed three victories along with a draw and two defeat in their last six outings. Opening day 1-0 defeat to Senegal ultimately meant that Ivory Coast lost out on the first place to the same nation. A decisive 3-1 win over Uganda on matchday three will certainly send some shivers to the Algerian camp before the all important quarter final.
With this being the beginning of the knockout stages of the competition, both the coaches will be looking to name their respective strongest XIs to ensure qualification to the next round.
