The International Friendly match between Algeria and Tunisia will take place at 19 May 1956 Stadium on Wednesday at 12:30 am IST.
In an attempt to achieve their fourth consecutive victory, Algeria will face Tunisia in a friendly match at the 19 May 1956 Stadium on Tuesday. After a disappointing performance in the 2023 African Cup of Nations qualifiers, Tunisia’s national team, the Carthage Eagles, are eager to bounce back and secure a win.
Algeria maintained their perfect record in the ongoing AFCON qualifiers by securing a 2-1 victory over Uganda at the Japoma Stadium on Sunday. Mohamed El Amine Amoura, a striker from Lugano, delivered an impressive performance by scoring in both halves, giving Algeria a two-goal advantage. However, Fahad Bayo managed to pull one back for Uganda in the 88th minute. Under the guidance of Djamel Belmadi, the Algerian team has triumphed in all five of their qualifying matches, scoring a total of nine goals while conceding only two. They currently sit at the top of Group F with an eight-point lead over Tanzania, who are in second place. Algeria, one of the 14 teams already guaranteed a spot in Cameroon, will now return home.
Tunisia’s unbeaten streak in the African Cup of Nations qualifiers ended on Saturday with a 1-0 loss to Equatorial Guinea at the Nuevo Estadio de Malabo. Emilio Nsue, formerly of Middlesbrough and Birmingham City, secured the victory for the hosts with a penalty in the second half, giving them their fourth consecutive win in the qualifiers. Prior to this defeat, Tunisia had enjoyed three consecutive victories, including a notable 1-0 triumph over France in the World Cup on November 30, just before their elimination in the group stage. Although Tunisia has already secured their place in the 2023 AFCON, their loss on Saturday caused them to drop to second place in Group J, with Equatorial Guinea taking over the top position.
