Preview

Match preview

Algeria host Niger in an international friendly fixture, looking to build on positive attacking performances across recent matches. The hosts have demonstrated formidable offensive output in their recent outings, scoring three goals against Zambia and Austria as well as two against Jordan and Burundi.

Niger enter this match having struggled for attacking consistency, managing only one goal in their recorded four-game run and failing to score in three of those fixtures. While they secured a 2-1 victory over Lesotho recently, their overall record against higher-ranked continental opponents shows difficulty creating high-probability chances.

Historically, Algeria have dominated this head-to-head matchup, winning five of the last six meetings between the sides. Niger's sole recent positive result in this series was a 0-0 draw in August 2025, but Algeria's clear historical superiority and superior scoring options make them strong favourites on home soil.
