Senegal go head-to-head with Algeria in the last round of fixtures in Group B, with Algeria desperately needing a win in order to progress further in the tournament.
It'll be a tough test for Algeria however, as they come up against a Senegal side that came through their first two games of the competition with minimum fuss. They opened with a 2-0 win over Tunisia and followed that with another 2-0 win over Zimbabwe.
Starting the tournament as one of the bookie's favourites to lift the trophy, Algeria have endured a disappointing start and know that only a win can send them through to the knockout stages. Even that might not be enough with Tunisia needing just a point to go through.

All hope is not lost for Algeria though, they do possess a highly-talented squad with the likes of Riyad Mahrez, Islam Slimani and Nabil Bentaleb in their ranks. Mahrez has netted twice so far in this tournament and the Leicester City man is a tidy 11/4 to score any time tonight.
Senegal's Sadio Mane also has two goals in the tournament so far and is 11/5 to score anytime. BetVictor are also offering an enhanced 11/1 on both Mane and Mahrez netting tonight which could be a real gem.
Senegal have already qualified for the knockout stages so might be tempted to take their feet off the gas a little tonight but they've still got plenty of quality to cause Algeria problems. They've also shown they're well-disciplined at the back and tough to break down.

The Senegal win is 12/5, whilst Algeria to win is 23/20. I'd be tempted to back Senegal/draw double chance at 8/13 given Algeria's stuttered start to the tournament.
In terms of goal markets, both of Algeria's games at AFCON so far have gone over 2.5 match goals and there is definite value in this one going over 2.5 goals too at 6/5.
