Algeria vs Togo: five straight wins in the fixture, and a 2-2 in Bujumbura still fresh 
Algeria were 2-0 down in Bujumbura after 12 minutes on 29 September. Both Burundi goals followed defensive mistakes, a Chaïbi backpass and a Bensebaini error, and it took Mohamed Belloumi’s first international goal and an Adil Boulbina free kick on 63 minutes to rescue a 2-2 draw.
That’s the only point Algeria have dropped under Brahim Hemdani. They host Togo on Saturday 14 November at the Stade Hocine Aït Ahmed in Tizi Ouzou, kick-off 19:00 UK time, on matchday three of Group I in qualifying for the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations.
Algeria lead the group on four points with a goal difference of plus two. Zambia and Togo have three each and Burundi one, and the two sides meet again at the Stade de Kégué in Lomé on Tuesday 17 November.
Algeria have won the last five meetings with Togo, by an aggregate of 14-2. The two most recent came in qualifying for AFCON 2025: 5-1 in Annaba on 10 October 2024 and 1-0 in Lomé four days later.
Belloumi won’t play this time. The Hull City forward and Brighton’s Jaouen Hadjam, who both started under Hemdani, withdrew injured on 9 November, and Fahem Benaïssa-Yahia of Mantova, 24, has been called up for the first time.
Togo took their three points from a 1-0 home win over Burundi before losing 2-0 in Zambia. Patrice Neveu has prepared his squad at a camp in Tabarka, Tunisia, and lost three players there to withdrawals.
Algeria: seven goals in three games under Hemdani, and two starters lost this week 
Hemdani’s first match was a 3-1 win over Zambia in Tizi Ouzou on 25 September, with goals from Hadjam, Ibrahim Maza and Anis Hadj Moussa. Algeria led 1-0 at half-time and he’s used a 4-2-3-1 in both qualifiers.
In the friendly against Niger on 6 October, at the same ground, he made seven changes and Algeria fell behind to Konan N’Dri’s goal on 12 minutes. Belloumi equalised with a free kick after coming on at half-time for the injured Maza, and Ramy Bensebaini won it 2-1 with a 72nd-minute penalty.
Bensebaini of Dortmund, Chaïbi of Eintracht Frankfurt, Maza of Leverkusen, Hadj Moussa of Feyenoord and the Nice forward Mohamed Amoura are all in the 26. Amine Gouiri of Marseille is also included, while Rayan Aït-Nouri of Manchester City, Ilan Kebbal and goalkeeper Luca Zidane were left out.
Goalkeeper Ramdane was released from the squad after the death of his father, and Rayane Yeseli of Olympique Akbou takes his place. Hicham Boudaoui has also been reported as struggling with back pain, though that hasn’t been confirmed by the federation.
Algeria’s World Cup ended with a 2-0 defeat to Switzerland in the round of 32 in July. They’re unbeaten in three matches since, with two wins and a draw.

Togo: a 17th-minute winner against Burundi, then nothing in Ndola 
Karim Dermane scored after 17 minutes against Burundi in Lomé on 25 September, and Togo won 1-0. In Ndola four days later they lost 2-0 to Zambia, with Dermane taking more shots than any other Togo player.
Patrice Neveu’s side beat Benin 5-1 in a friendly in Morocco on 9 June, a few days after a 1-1 draw with the Central African Republic in Mohammédia. Two goals in two qualifiers is a thinner return.
The record against Algeria is five defeats in a row since 2017. Togo lost 4-1 in November 2018, 3-0 in January 2024 and 5-1 in Annaba in October 2024.
Neveu has called up Lilian Brassier of Eintracht Frankfurt for the first time. Kévin Denkey and captain Djené Dakonam are in the 25 with Dermane, and goalkeeper Malcolm Barcola started in Ndola.
Three players withdrew at the training camp in Tabarka, Tunisia, which opened on 9 November: Sharani Zuberu, Mansour Ouro-Tagba and Steven Nador. Gustave Akueson and Yaw Annor replace them, and federation president Guy Kossi Akpovy has set a target of three or four points from the two games.

Free Football Prediction: Algeria vs Togo
Our prediction: Algeria to win by two goals or more (handicap -1.5)
We’re taking Algeria to win by two clear goals. A home win at 1.20 is below our floor, and three of the last five meetings ended with Algeria three or more goals ahead.
The two withdrawals matter, Belloumi’s in particular after his goals against Burundi and Niger. Algeria still have Amoura, Gouiri, Hadj Moussa and Maza in attack, and Togo failed to score in their only away qualifier.
The worry for us is Algeria’s defending in Bujumbura, where they gave away two early goals. At home in Tizi Ouzou, where they’ve won both games under Hemdani, we expect 3-0.
The one bookmaker price we’ve seen has the draw at 5.00 and Togo at 13.00. Algeria have scored at least two in each of their three matches under Hemdani, and Togo conceded twice in their only away qualifier.

About our free predictions
- What we publish on MathOdds are analyses, nothing more. We share a view, a reading of the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport remains what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a last-minute goal, and the script changes completely.
- Let’s be clear: there is no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when it looks “obvious”, nothing ever is. And yes, that means you can lose. It’s even inevitable at some point.
- The smartest approach is to stay reasonable. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Never use money you need to live on. And above all: don’t chase your losses: that rarely ends well.
- A bet should remain a game, not a job or a source of income. If it starts taking up too much space in your daily life, causes stress or frustration, take a break. And if needed, talk to a support organisation: that’s what they’re there for.
- Ultimately, responsibility lies with you. Reading our content means accepting that risk exists and will never disappear, no matter how good the analysis.
- Essential reminder: gambling is prohibited for minors and must comply with the laws of your country. Need help? Visit begambleaware.org.
No commitment from us
Our predictions carry no contractual value. They have no legal standing. In short: you cannot rely on them to claim anything if a bet doesn’t come through.
Information changes
A prediction is always based on what we know at the time of writing. But between publication and kick-off, a lineup can change, a player picks up an injury, the weather turns, and the analysis can quickly be outdated. We cannot be held responsible for that.
Your responsibility
Before placing a bet, simply check that gambling is legal in your country. If it isn’t, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
Responsible gambling
We can’t say it enough: gamble responsibly. If you’re struggling to stay in control, don’t wait to seek help.
