Algeria and Ivory Coast were among everybody’s favourites to lift the AFCON trophy even before a ball was kicked. They now face each other in the group stage itself with qualification on the line. To see who comes out on top in this mammoth clash, we at Alley Sport bring you the Algeria predicted lineup vs Ivory Coast: Preview, Prediction and Livestream details from this exciting Group Stage encounter at the Africa Cup of Nations 2022.
Algeria vs Ivory Coast Preview and Livestream
Defending champions Algeria were expected to start their campaign with a flyer, especially being afforded relatively easy opponents in the form of Sierra Leone and then Equatorial Guinea, two of the tournament’s rank outsiders. However, the Greens failed to capitalise on any of the chances they created, as only Yacine Brahimi has looked to provide any sort of flair. Ivory Coast have taken the early initiative in the group with their win over Equatorial Guinea. Algeria need severe improvement in their performances moving forward if they are to have any hope of defending their crown this year.
Max Gradel and co’s Ivory Coast have looked like the team to beat at the AFCON this time. They have taken Group E by the scruff of the neck and established their superiority in top spot. It remains to be seen if they do indeed have the credentials to beat a big time like Algeria.

Algeria vs Ivory Coast Prediction
Algeria were looking like a well-oiled, rugged unit under their experienced manager Djamel Belmandi, but if their opening matches are anything to go by, the Greens will find it hard to progress. Ivory Coast have shown flair and excitement in performances this AFCON. As such, we fancy Riyad Mahrez’s team to snatch a 1-0 win thanks solely to their desperation for points.
