Algeria v Cameroon Betting Tips [29 March 2022]

Algeria are on the quest to return lost glory after their early elimination from the AFCON 2021 finals in Cameroon. Earning a place at the 2022 World Cup will go a long way in doing just that and as they host Cameroon, just a draw will be enough. Algeria won 1-0 away in Cameroon and the return leg at home should be an easier assignment. They go into the game with three clean sheets in their last five matches but having failed to score in two of the five. Islam Slimani scored the all-important goal in the first leg in Douala, handing Algeria their first win in four matches. It was also their eighth match unbeaten in World Cup qualification, with five wins in that run and this is an opportunity for them to finish it off. With three clean sheets in their last four matches in World Cup qualification, and a potent attack that has seen them score two or more in four of the last five in this competition, Algeria should be sailing through.

Cameroon are in the red; things haven’t really been going their way, and going into this game they have no win in regular time in the last three. They finished third when hosting the 2021 AFCON finals and fell short at home in the first leg of this tie. A change in coaches hasn’t helped them either and going into this game, things look bleak. Cameroon have failed to score in two of their last three matches but they’ve scored two or more in three of their last five matches, these were at AFCON 2021. In World Cup qualification, they have a loss and four wins in their last five matches. They’ve won four of the five but only Ivory Coast was a serious threat among the teams they beat. This one will be tougher, having managed just four wins in their last 10 away matches in World Cup qualification. They were the last team to beat Algeria in World Cup qualification and will be hoping for a repeat here.

Algeria have the edge here after their 1-0 away win. They have done well in World Cup qualification and will have the advantage of playing at home. On the other hand, Cameroon have-not done so well in their matches ahead of this. They have a good run in World Cup qualifiers but most of the teams they’ve played lately are weaker than Algeria. Back Algeria to win here.
