Algeria host Rwanda at the Mohamed Hamlaoui Stadium in Constantine on Thursday for an international friendly. Ranked 36th in the world, the Desert Warriors are looking to extend their winning run in 2025 to three games, having won two World Cup qualifier games back in March.
A clash away to Botswana resulted in a 3-1 victory followed by a thumping 5-1 demolition of Mozambique at home as Algeria consolidated their campaign. Also, the north African giants are currently unbeaten in nine official games.
With no qualifying games to negotiate this month, Algeria can afford to take their feet off the pedal here as their second game of the month is also a friendly against Sweden.
On the other hand, Rwanda are searching for their first official victory of 2025. They lost 2-0 to Nigeria in their first game before a 1-1 draw to Lesotho. Both were part of their World Cup qualifying campaign.
Trending
Unlike Algeria, the Wasps play just one game this month before resuming their qualification rounds in September. This presents their only chance to get some gametime under their belt before their encounter with Nigeria.
