Algeria’s backs are pressed against the wall, as far as qualification for the 2018 FIFA World Cup is concerned and they cannot afford to drop any more points; that is a lecture that will be well drilled on the Desert Foxes when they face off with Zambia in the repeat clash in Algiers on Tuesday 5th September. Zambia hit Algeria 3 – 1 in the first leg in Lusaka on Saturday 2 September, leaving Algeria bottom of Group B with just a point and to revive their race, the hosts must win this game. The win was Zambia’s first ever over the North African nation but Algeria will be out to restore normalcy in this fixture. Algeria have not won in their last three matches and heading to this game they will want to build on the two wins they managed before going on a run of two losses and a draw. Playing at home, they have two losses, two wins and a draw, scoring seven and conceding seven. They have two losses in the last 10 home matches and are unbeaten in their last 13 World Cup qualifying matches at home. Zambia on the other hand, have three wins and two draws in their last five matches and have lost just twice in their last 10 away games. They have three wins sandwiched between two draws in their last five away matches and have scored 10 goals and conceded four in this period. In World Cup qualifying matches away from home, they have managed just two wins in the last 10. Head to head, the teams have met three times before and Algeria have won two, Zambia one.
