Djamel Belmadi’s men have won their last two matches against the three-time African champions, with their last triumph a 1-0 victory in a prestige international friendly played on October 9, 2020, at Jacques Lemans Arena.

Riyad Mahrez and co. go into this African classic having recorded a 1-0 win over Guinea on Friday – with Islam Slimani’s late effort separating the sides.
