#4 Islam Slimani and El Arbi Hillel Soudani
At 28 and 29 years of age, Slimani & Soudani are 6th and 7th on the list of all-time highest goalscorers for the national team. What’s remarkable though is the rate at which both score goals – Slimani’s 23 in 47 games & Soudani’s 21 in 39 games – implying that on average Algeria are virtually assured a goal per game.
Soudani’s consistency is remarkable as seen by his 45 goals in 92 league appearances for current club Dinamo Zagreb and the 7 goals he scored in 6 qualifiers to be the top scorer. Slimani wasn’t far behind with 4 goals himself, and this deadly duo will form the backbone of Algeria’s hopes.
