Riyad Mahrez
The Manchester City winger is lightening quick and will be a talismanic figure in the game for Algeria. Mahrez will look to inspire his team in the knockout phase. He has already scored 1 goal in this campaign already and his stats for the previous year read as follows
Goals 7 Assists 4
Baghdad Bounedjah
The forward scored from the spot in the previous game and went close to scoring twice against the Kenyan team. Expect him to be a key influence yet again as the principal target man for the midfield.
Goal 1 Assists 0
X factor star – Youcef Belaili, The forward will be one to watch out for with his powerful shots on target and finishing skills.He already has scored a goal in the competition.
Mohamed Yattara
The 25 year old player who plays his trade for Auxerre and has been in good form in this tournament and throughout the season. His goals against Burundi were the reason they qualified in this round.
Goals 2 Assist 0
Sory Kaba
Kaba is an up and coming player who has impressed in this world cup being a target man for the midfielders. He has already scored in the tournament and will look to futher add to his tally
Goals -1 Assists 0
X factor star – Ibrahim Traore , The 31 year old veteran has the knack of producing on the big stage and the Guinean team will look at him as a source of inspiration with his experience.
Goals : 0 Assists :1
Should be an easy win for Algeria winning 2- 0 .
