Algeria will have felt they did enough to beat Sierra Leone, but were unable to find the back of the net despite mustering eight shots on target. Djamel Belmadi won't be overly concerned as they dominated and a bit of composure in front of goal on Sunday will surely see them put their first win on the board. Equatorial Guinea kicked off their AFCON campaign with a 1-0 loss to Ivory Coast, but they held their own against the Elephants in their first round game. Things don't get any easier here and they'll hope to spring an upset here. Belmadi will be looking for a response after the 0-0 draw with Sierra Leone, and he should get it on Sunday night. 2:0
Djamel Benlamri replaced Abdelkader Bedrane at the break in Algeria's 0-0 draw with Sierra Leone and may start alongside Aissa Mandi here. Despite being held by Sierra Leone, Djamel Belmadi may resist the urge to make sweeping changes. Manuel Sapunga started the 1-0 loss to Ivory Coast and should keep his spot between the sticks. Luis Nlavo replaced Dorian Hanza midway through the second half in the defeat, but the latter could keep his spot in attack.
