Algeria’s march towards the 2026 FIFA World Cup continues on Monday as they travel to the Mohammed V Stadium in Casablanca for a tricky clash against Guinea in Group G.

The Syli National are clinging to their faint hopes of qualification and know that nothing short of victory will keep their campaign alive. Their recent 3-0 win over Somalia—thanks to Serhou Guirassy, an own goal, and a late strike from Ousmane Camara—lifted them to 10 points from seven games. Despite sitting fourth in the group, Guinea remain outsiders, trailing leaders Algeria by eight points.

For Algeria, confidence is high. The Desert Foxes extended their dominance with a 3-1 triumph over Botswana on Thursday. Mohamed Amoura broke the deadlock before Botswana equalised just before halftime, but Algeria’s quality shone through as they completed the double over their opponents, mirroring their March victory by the same scoreline.

Guinea will take heart from their 2-1 upset win in the reverse fixture, proving they can trouble the North African giants. But inconsistency in attack has hurt their push for qualification, leaving Algeria in pole position with sharper firepower and stronger form.

With Guinea fighting for survival and Algeria looking to tighten their grip on Group G, Monday’s showdown promises intensity, drama, and potentially, another twist in Africa’s World Cup race.
