The Super Falcons are on a three-game winning streak and are undefeated in their last five matches. They are the highest-ranked African nation in the FIFA Women's World Ranking and will head into the weekend clash as clear favorites.

Algeria are on a run of back-to-back unbeaten outings and have lost just one of their last seven games across all competitions. The sheer gulf in class and quality between the two teams could, however, see them lose this one.
