Mauritania will square off against 2019 champions Algeria in their final group-stage match of the Africa Cup of Nations 2023 (AFCON) at the Stade Bouaké on Tuesday.

Both teams have endured a winless start to their campaign, with Mauritania suffering back-to-back defeats and the 2019 winners playing two draws in a row.


The Lions of Chinguetti are making their third-straight appearance in the group stage of the AFCON and have been winless in eight games thus far. After failing to score in the previous edition, they found the back of the net in their meeting against Angola last week.

Algeria were held to a 1-1 draw in their campaign opener by Angola and in their previous outing, they narrowly avoided a loss and played out a 2-2 draw against Burkina Faso.

Baghdad Bounedjah was the hero once again as he equalized for his side in the 51st minute. After Burkina Faso retook the lead thanks to Bertrand Traoré's penalty, Bounedjah headed in the equalizer in the fifth minute of injury time, with Adam Ounas, who replaced Riyad Mahrez in the 74th minute, picking up the assist.

The Desert Warriors need a win from the match to ensure a top-two finish in Group D. Angola and Burkina Faso, both have four points to their name and meet on Tuesday. If they settle for a draw, Algeria's chances of making it into the next round will be slim.
