Expert Betting Tips
Their most recent meeting ended a (2-3) victory for Cape Verde over Algeria in a friendly match. The defeat seems fresh in the minds of the Algerian players, and they'll be desperate to avenge here. The Desert Foxes were fantastic against Senegal, even though they mustered just three shots and managed to convert one. On the other side, Cape Verde are a fearless side but head here after some defensive lapses against Togo.
