AFCON 2019: Algeria vs Nigeria: Five key battles that will determine the winner

The stats indicate that the Algerians have a tight defence – with the only goal, they have conceded coming in the quarter-final encounter against Cote d’Ivoire while the Nigerians have conceded a goal per match on the average.The most dangerous Fox is none other than Mahrez and he has two goals to show so far. Collins played out of his skin against the dangerous Percy Tau, which could be a minor audition as he seeks to deny the Algerian captain the space to wreak havoc.

We faced Algeria twice in the 2018 World Cup qualifications, but they are a much better side now. This is going to be a more tough game. As a coach, I’m always optimistic. If we played like what we did in the past two games we could win.

Nigeria [4-3-3]: Daniel Akpeyi; Chidozie Awaziem, William Troost-Ekong, Kenneth Omeruo, Jamilu Collins; Wilfred Ndidi; Oghenekaro Etebo, Samuel Chukwueze, Alex Iwobi, Ahmed Musa; Odion Ighalo
