Guinea will meet Algeria at Stade Mohammed V in the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifiers on Monday. The hosts can still finish atop the Group G standings of the CAF qualifiers, but will need to win all three remaining games. The Fennecs just need one more win to secure their place in the World Cup group stage for the first time since 2014.
Syli National registered a 3-0 away win over Somalia last week, returning to goalscoring and winning ways in the World Cup qualifiers after four games. Serhou Guirassy broke the deadlock in the 22nd minute, while Faisal Othman's own goal in the 64th minute doubled their lead. Ousmane Camara added the third goal in stoppage time.
The visitors extended their winning streak in the qualifiers to five games last week, with a 3-1 home triumph over Botswana. Mohamed Amoura broke the deadlock in the 33rd minute, but Tebogo Kopelang pulled Botswana level 10 minutes later. Second-half substitute Baghdad Bounedjah bagged a brace to help his side secure a win.
