The Algerian national team is getting ready for a crucial clash today against Austria at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, USA, in the third and final round of the 2026 FIFA World Cup group stage.
Algeria goes into this match needing just one point to secure qualification to the Round of 32, having collected 3 points in Group J after beating Jordan in the last round. On the other hand, Austria has the same number of points, but goal difference might work in their favor and give them a chance to go through as one of the best third-placed teams, even if they lose to Algeria.
Algeria Predicted XI:
Goalkeeper: Luca Zidane
Defenders: Rafik Belghali, Aissa Mandi, Ramy Bensebaini, Rayan Ait-Nouri
Midfielders: Nabil Bentaleb, Ibrahim Maza, Hicham Boudaoui
