Prematurely eliminated from the last CAN and beaten by Cameroon in the 2022 World Cup play-offs, Algeria must rebuild.
Since the elimination against the Cameroonians, the Fennecs have not lost a single match.
They even remain on an impressive winning streak.
The reception of Nigeria for this friendly match will be a real test against another competitive nation of the African continent.
Eliminated by Ghana in the play-offs, Nigeria will not be traveling to Qatar either.
A second consecutive disappointment after the surprising elimination in the round of 16 of the last CAN against Tunisia.
The last confrontation between the two teams was already a friendly match, in 2020. Algeria won 1-0 thanks to a goal from former Stade Rennais player Ramy Bensebaïni.

Prediction Algeria - Nigeria: the stakes of the meeting
Focus on the Algerian team
Forget the recent disappointments, Algeria has been back on excellent footing for several weeks.
The current series is impressive: since the elimination against Cameroon, the Fennecs have won 7 of their last 8 games.
Only Togo managed to secure a 0-0 draw last April.
During this series of 8 games, Djamel Belmadi's men only conceded one goal.
Proof of a new found defensive solidity.
The match against Nigeria will be the second of this international period.
Last Friday, Algeria won by the smallest of scores against Guinea, thanks to a goal scored by Islam Slimani late in the game.
The Algeria coach has made strong choices in his list of selected players.
We note in particular the return of Andy Delort and Nabil Bentaleb.
Focus on the Nigeria team
Although having a high quality workforce, Nigeria arrives in Algeria without great certainties.
The latest results obtained by the Super Eagles are up and down.
The victories obtained against supposedly weaker teams such as Sierra Leone or São Tomé and Príncipe were not enough to reassure around the performances of the last few months.
Beaten in the round of 16 of the CAN by Tunisia, after having shown an excellent face in the group stage, Nigeria will also miss the next World Cup.
Blame it on a cruel elimination during the double confrontation against Ghana.
The last two friendly matches played by the Nigerians ended in two defeats against Ecuador and Mexico.
On the workforce side: Gernot Rohr can count on Moses Simon, Alex Iwobi, Wilfried Ndidi and Terem Moffi.
In contrast,
