Guinea vs Algeria Prediction 2025
For the Guinea vs Algeria prediction 2025, I’m backing Algeria to win 2-0. Algeria’s unbeaten CHAN run, with a 3-0 win over Uganda and a 1-1 draw against South Africa, showcases their attacking prowess, averaging 2.4 goals per game, led by Ayoub Ghezala and Abderrahmane Meziane Bentahar. Guinea’s 2-1 loss to South Africa and 3-0 defeat to Uganda highlight defensive frailties, conceding 1.2 goals per game, despite Mohamed Bangoura’s scoring threat. The Guinea vs Algeria odds, with Algeria at 1.62 and Guinea at 4.75, reflect Algeria’s edge, having won three of four head-to-heads. Guinea’s upset 2-1 win in 2024 offers hope, but their lack of home wins and Cheick Conde’s injury weaken them.
