Algeria wants to secure its ticket

The team that once won the African Cup of Nations and was the fear of all Africa, the Algerian national soccer team, returns home with its people in a Stade Nelson Mandela that will surely be full of the green and white colors and full of fans who will want to impose themselves from the stands with chants that will shake the rival and raise the spirits of their selected team, Also, being in Algerian territory, Mahrez and company will have to prove that the Algerian power is still in force so getting the victory will not be an option, but an obligation, it is also well known that Algeria has a great advantage over several African teams due to the great sporting project they have, so the statistics look to be a party in Algeria.
