Botswana To Have No Joy

We like the look of 1.58 when it comes to the Desert Foxes. Our betting prediction is that Algeria will overcome Botswana with something to spare.

Match Preview & H2H

Botswana´s last match was on the road against Egypt and the Africa Cup of Nations qualifier at the 30 June Stadium finished in a 1-1 draw.

Botswana vs Algeria Prediction

Back the visitors to get the better of Botswana in this Africa World Cup qualifier. You can get 1.58 on the Full-Time Result market for this pick and we think it’s value.

Backing Algeria -1.5 on the Asian Lines is trading at bigger odds but means you would need a two-goal margin of victory.
