Algeria is set to face Mali on the 6th and final day of the Africa zone qualifiers for the 2014 World Cup. Already qualified for the playoffs, the Fennecs aim to consolidate their leadership position and use the match as preparation for the playoffs. The Algerian technical staff, including deputy national coach Noureddine Korichi, sees this match as an opportunity to assess the team’s progress, especially in areas like duels and aerial play. The intention is to rotate the squad and avoid risking key players. The match against Mali is considered a useful test in preparation for the upcoming crucial playoff matches. Sofiane Feghouli, Adlene Guedioura, Essaïd Belkalem, and Islam Slimani may not start to avoid the risk of injury ahead of the playoffs.
