Algeria will be looking to secure world cup qualification when they take on Cameroon in the penultimate match at the Stade Mustapha Tchaker on Tuesday, March 29.

The hosts carry a narrow 1-0 advantage which they gained from the reverse fixture where Islam Slimani’s goal proved to be the difference in Blida.

Djamel Belmadi's men will be hoping to make amends for a disappointing Africa Cup of Nations campaign, but they will know it will not be easy, as Cameroon has developed a knack of dominating matches.

Notably, the Indomitable Lions had majority of possession and created more chances in the first leg, but somehow failed to capitalize on their dominance.

Algeria will however be boosted by the fact that they are yet to lose a game at home in three years.

Team news, Cameroon

The good news for Cameroon is their prolific forward Vincent Aboubakar is likely to feature, despite a scare in the other game days ago,

Aboubakar had to be withdrawn at halftime with a minor injury, but he has shaken it off and should be available for selection.

Napoli midfielder Zambo Anguissa is however missing with a muscle injury in what will be a big miss for Cameroon.

Here is Cameroon’s possible line-up:

A.Onana; Fai, Castelletto, Ngadeu, Tolo; Hongla, Oum Gouet, Toko Ekambi, J.Onana; Choupo-Moting, Aboubakar

Team News, Algeria

Algeria’s scorer in the previous game Islam Slimani is expected to lead the line for Djamel Belmadi's men, who have no fresh injury concerns.

The biggest boost for Algeria will be the fact that West Ham star Said Benrahma joined the national team, and is available for selection should the team need his creativity.
