Algeria expected to keep 4-3-3 for CAN 2027 qualifier against Burundi

Algeria will face Burundi in Bujumbura at 13:00 GMT on Tuesday, aiming to claim a second victory in their CAN 2027 qualifying campaign.

The Algerian side opened the qualifiers with a win over Zambia and will look to maintain that positive start as they seek to strengthen their position at the top of the group.

The technical staff are expected to retain a 4-3-3 formation for the match. Algeria’s approach is likely to focus on controlling the tempo in midfield while using their attacking pace to take advantage of any openings in Burundi’s defence.

The probable Algeria line-up is:

Melvin Mastil; Jaouen Hadjam, Ramy Bensebaini, Samir Chergui, Saadi Radouani; Adem Zorgane, Fares Chaibi, Ibrahim Maza; Mohamed Amoura, Adil Boulbina, Bachir Belloumi.

The match in Bujumbura gives Algeria the opportunity to build on their opening result against Zambia and continue their push in the CAN 2027 qualification group.
