Algeria vs Niger Prediction

Algeria host Niger on 6 October 2026 at 20:00 in a friendly at the Hocine Aït Ahmed Stadium. Algeria arrive unbeaten in six consecutive friendlies, with five wins and one draw during that run. Niger have won just one of their last eight matches and have not won an away friendly in 12 consecutive attempts. Algeria's home record is particularly strong—they have avoided defeat for more than two years. Niger lost 0-2 to Gabon in their last Africa Cup of Nations qualifier and have scored in only four of their last eight matches.

Form and H2H

Algeria's last ten home matches show five wins, three draws, and two losses, averaging 2.19 goals for and 1.21 against. Niger's away form is weaker: three wins, three draws, and four losses, with 0.79 goals for and 1.15 against per match. The head-to-head record heavily favors Algeria. In their last six meetings, Algeria won four times and drew once, including a 6-1 victory in October 2021 and a 5-0 win in January 2023. Their most recent encounter in August 2025 ended 0-0.

Best bet

Algeria to win at 1.21 with 1xBet or 1.22 with 1Win. Algeria's attacking depth—Belloumi in form, Boulbina, Maza, and Zorgane capable of sustained pressure—combined with Niger's poor away record and defensive inconsistency makes a home victory the clearest outcome. Niger have kept a clean sheet only once in their last eight matches and have conceded across multiple competitions.

Odds to watch

The draw is available at 6.99 with 1xBet and 4.9 with 1Win. Niger's sole recent win came against Lesotho 2-1, but that represents an exception rather than form. Algeria's unbeaten home run and friendly-match consistency suggest a low probability of a stalemate. A Niger upset at 19 with 1xBet or 11 with 1Win carries minimal value given the disparity in recent results and head-to-head record.
