Mauritania - Algeria: Form Analysis
Mauritania are living up to their billing as the pre-tournament underdogs, being at the bottom of Group D without a point. That however is not an indicator of the effort they’ve put in this competition so far. In their opening game they were unfortunate to leave empty-handed after a gallant fight against Burkina Faso. They lost 1-0 courtesy of a stoppage time penalty that was buried in by Aston Villa forward Bertrand Traore. They did hold their own against Angola in the second game but suffered another slim defeat after a good fight, losing 3-2. While results haven't gone their way, Mauritania have been impressive, and scored a great goal against Angola too. It is an indication that though viewed as underdogs, they will give Algeria a run for their money. Mauritania will hope for inspiration from the two goals scored against Angola, which broke their run without scoring that had stretched to four games. However, the key target for them will be breaking the six-game run without a win. They are already in the red after straight losses. Mauritania will, however, be aware that a win could just put them in consideration as one of the best third placed finishers.
Algeria haven't had it easy in their opening matches either. They started it off with a 1-1 draw with Angola before having to come from behind twice to draw 2-2 with Burkina Faso. The permutations in this group mean they can only be assured of advancing by winning here. In their last 19 matches, Algeria will want to return to their pre-tournament form, where they had four straight wins. There is little doubt that they can get back there, especially looking at their scoring run. In six of their last eight matches, Algeria have managed more than a goal. They will however hope to improve on their AFCON form, having failed to win any of their last five matches at the competition. Playing as champions in the last edition, Algeria failed to advance past the group stages. They are staring at a repeat unless they put up a better showing on Match Day 3. On a more positive note, Algeria have never lost to Mauritania before. These two nations have met three times and Algeria won all. However, this will be the first competitive meeting between the two nations and it may not be as straightforward for Algeria.

Mauritania & Algeria Squad Analysis
While they suffered a loss in their last game, Mauritania’s Aboubacar Koita was the talk of town after his special goal against Angola. In their quest for a first ever win at AFCON, the Sint-Truiden forward will be a key man to watch. For Algeria. The key man is definitely Baghdad Bounedjah. The Al Sadd forward has scored all of Algeria’s three goals at this tournament so far. He is a veteran of the team and surely gets the job done. His brace against Burkina Faso makes him the Algerian dangerman. Algeria will however be without Ramy Bensebaini and Ismail Bennacer for this game. Bensebaini is suspended for the game while bennacer is carrying an injury from the previous game.

Our Mauritania vs Algeria Prediction
Pre-match talk going into this game will be centered on Algeria forward Baghdad Bounedjah. His heroics twice lifted Algeria from the jaws of defeat against Burkina Faso, having also scored on Match Day 1. His influence in matches is not in doubt and Mauritania too have felt it in two of the three games the two nations have faced off. Our prediction for Mauritania v Algeria is for Baghdad Bounedjah to score.
Mauritania vs Algeria - Other Interesting Predictions
Algeria win to nil
Algeria haven't been at their best in this competition. They’ve literally scraped through the opening two games and their Match Day 2 performance really left them exposed. However, there is no denying that they are still a formidable side, and will be favorites coming into this game. One area that Algeria have done well in, is in defence. Before coming to the 2023 AFCON, they have straight clean sheets in three matches, and all of them being wins. They have now kept clean sheets in five of their last 10 matches. They face a side that’s not known to be strong in attack. Mauritania failed to score in four of their last five matches before managing two goals against Angola. Another interesting prediction for this game will thus be for Algeria to win without conceding.
