Algeria have already secured their place at AFCON 2023 even as they prepare to host Tanzania on Match Day 6. The two sides lead Group F, Algeria on 15 points and Tanzania are second on seven points. In the first meeting between these two nations, Algeria beat Tanzania 2-0 in Dar. The win was a confirmation of Algeria’s dominance over Tanzania, having won all their last four meetings. Coming into this game, Algeria drew 1-1 with Tunisia in a friendly. They are unbeaten in four matches, winning three, and in this group they’ve won each of their last five matches. In 13 AFCON qualification matches, Algeria are unbeaten, winning 10. They have won without conceding in three of their five matches in this group. Four times in their five Group F matches, they’ve scored more than a goal.

Tanzania are on the brink of qualification to yet another AFCON competition. Leading third placed Uganda by three points, they need just a draw here. They can still lose and proceed to the tournament though. That however will need them to match Uganda’s result in the other game. This is a game that hasn’t favored Tanzania over the years, and their safest bet will be to try out for a draw. A superior goal difference to Uganda will also be key for Tanzania here. They lost to Algeria at home and will hope Algeria field a second-string side, having already qualified. In 10 AFCON qualification matches, Tanzania have managed just three wins, and lost five. They did beat Uganda away from home in their last AFCON qualifier on the road. However, that is their only away win in the competition in 16 outings. They lost 10 of the 16 away matches in AFCON qualifiers.
