Form & Qualifying
Algeria's 63.6% possession was the second-highest share in African qualifying, but recent form also showed a side that often looked stagnant in build-up and vulnerable once the ball turned over. The question on everyones mind is whether Algeria will be in form as we head into the tournament, or if the pressure will cause crucial mistakes in its early-stages.

Algeria's qualifying run
Vladimir Petkovic's side dominated African qualifying with eight wins in ten, but the narrative centres on Mohamed Amoura's clinical finishing. Ten goals across the campaign made him the standout player, though build-up play often looked pedestrian, and the team's vulnerability to turnovers raises questions about how they'll cope against Argentina's intensity in their opening fixture.
Algeria's Group J fixtures
Algeria's three Group J fixtures begin with Argentina on 16 June at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, followed by Jordan on 22 June at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara and Austria on 27 June at Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City.
How far can Algeria go at the World Cup?
Algeria's Tier 4 price and Group J draw make them one of the lower-mid calls on the card. Amoura's ten-goal qualifying return is part of the case for the pick, while the build-up and turnover concerns keep the call grounded.
