Algeria vs Angola prediction 15.01.2024

• Competition: Africa Cup of Nations
• Date: 15th January 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UTC / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Stade Bouaké

Algeria, a favourite for the 2024 AFCON tournament, aims to kick off their campaign with a victory as they face Angola on Monday night.

Entering this edition of the competition, the Algerians are eager to bounce back after their unsuccessful attempt to defend their 2019 title, which ended in a group stage exit in Cameroon four years ago. Djamel Belmadi’s team was among the top performers in the qualifiers for this year’s tournament, topping Group F undefeated. They aim to duplicate their successful qualifying performance in the upcoming weeks.

Conversely, Angola did not qualify for the 2021 Africa Cup of Nation and has never clinched victory in the competition. Despite this, the Black Stable Antelopes have shown impressive form recently, evading defeat in their past five matches. They secured their tournament spot by ending up second in Group E, amassing nine points from six games.

Algeria vs Angola Betting Tips: Algeria to win

An Algeria team, who didn’t manage to win any of their last two encounters with the Black Sable antelopes and conceded four goals in their last two matches at the AFCON finals, must not underestimate Angola.

Despite only losing 2 out of their last 15 competitive matches, the Angolan national team has had their last three games end in draws. However, the team’s defensive organization is evident from their four clean sheets in their last four games.

Despite this, I believe the Desert Warriors possess significant quality across the pitch and should kick off their campaign with a victory, even if it’s just by a one goal margin.
