Togo vs Algeria Prediction: The Desert Foxes will get a back-to-back victory against the Sparrowhawks

Togo will hope for their first win of the season when they face off against Algerian at the Stade de Kegue Stadium on Monday. The Desert Foxes have been formidable in this tournament, winning three consecutive matches, and they’ll be keen to extend their run here.

FIFA Ranking: 119th

Last five games: DLDDL

The Sparrowhawks surrendered to their first defeat of the season against Algeria. Thibault Klije drew the first blood against the Desert Foxes; however, they conceded five times later in the game. Algeria created eight big chances against Togo as they were tactically outclassed. It was a disappointing defensive performance from Togo, who have now gone eight matches without a clean sheet. 

Togo are blessed with quite some attacking players but are shaky at the back. They have now gone six games without a win despite creating loads of chances and scoring quite a number of goals. 

Togo have picked up two points from a combined nine in over their last three qualifying games. 

FIFA Ranking: 41st

Last five games: LWWWW

The Desert Foxes march here with one of their best performances in a while, scoring five times against Togo on their ground. It was more like a training ground for Algeria, who created eight big chances and converted five of their eight shots at goal. 

Algeria have started their qualifying round on high with three consecutive wins against Equatorial Guinea, Liberia and Togo. 

Algeria moved five places up in the latest FIFA rankings following their recent run. They have won three consecutive matches, scoring ten and conceding once in the group.

Over their previous five meetings, Algeria have won four, while Togo have managed one win. Both teams met a few days ago, with Algeria outmuscling Togo in a six-goal thriller. 

Algeria already named a strong squad for this round, with Mahrez, Aouar, and Benraham training. At the same time, Togo will feature the same players for this encounter, as Kevin Denkey, Karim Dermane, and Etienne are expected to start upfront. 

Togo have not been at their best lately, and after their performance a few days ago, we think they'll be the second-best side here; bet on away halftime over 0.5 goals for 1.87.

We expect another open encounter with goals here; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.14.

Algeria will be at their best here; bet on an away win and over 1.5 goals for 2.10.

Good luck!
