Friday, July 19, 2019, on “Cairo International Stadium”, we have the finals of the African Cup of Nations, Senegal vs Algeria. The two nationalities also met in the group stage.

Senegal – Form of the moment, latest results, statistics

Senegal relied on Napoli’s defender, Koulibaly, and that was clearly noticed. By the end of the season, the Senegalese won a single goal in defeating Algeria in the group stage, 0-1. Otherwise, to go to “optimi”, Senegal passed Tanzania, 2-0, and Kenya, 3-0. Were the victories at the limit with Uganda and Benin, 1-0, and in the semifinals Bronn’s autogol was in the 100th minute and Senegal went over in the exits of Tunisia, 1-0. There were 55 fouls in a fairly tense game, 41 in regular time.

Algeria – The form of the moment, the latest results and statistics

Algeria is a surprise and not too. With an extremely valuable lot, the Magrebians only play for the second time the final of the continental competition in the last 30 years. In 1990, they became champions in a field tournament. There have been many discussions about the players left home, including Hoffenheim’s striker Belfodil, but Belmadi seems to have made the right decision when he nominated the footballers for this final tournament. In groups, Algeria passed Kenya, 2-0, Senegal, 1-0, and Tanzania, 3-0, and then disposed Guinea, 3-0, Ivory Coast, after penalties (1- 1 in 120 minutes), and in the semifinals he sent Nigerians home, 2-1, Mahrez’s victory, in a 90 + 5 minute shot.

Senegal vs Algeria Picks

Both national teams showed that two teams tactically disciplined, “breaking” the game when needed. Thus, the average of fouls in Algerian disputes was somewhere at 40. In the group dispute, we recorded 53 offenses, 34 only Algerian. It is clear that a much higher mental match will be even more violent and the more ardent players. Of course, the referee will count, but Ethiopian Bamlak Tessama Weyesa also led Senegal vs Tunisia. So only positive premises.

Our Prediction: 1

Odds: 1.85
