Why This Match is "Must-Watch" TV
The stakes couldn't be higher. Here is why the world is watching:
• The Revenge Mission: Nigeria has lost their last three meetings against Algeria. The Super Eagles are desperate to flip the script.
• The Golden Boot Race: Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen are in blistering form, with Lookman already netting 3 goals this tournament.
• Defensive Wall vs. Attacking Fire: Algeria has conceded only one goal all tournament, while Nigeria boasts the most potent attack with 12 goals.
Head-to-Head: The History
Historically, these two giants are neck-and-neck. Out of 22 total encounters:
• Algeria Wins: 10

The last time they met in a major tournament was the 2019 semi-final, where a last-minute Riyad Mahrez free-kick broke Nigerian hearts. Will history repeat itself, or is it time for the Eagles to soar?
