Algeria vs South Africa Prediction & Betting Tips - International Friendlies
by Devesh Jaganath | in Football Predictions
African giants Algeria and South Africa will face off in an international friendly at Stade de Nelson Mandela on Tuesday evening. The hosts are ranked 43rd according to FIFA World Rankings, while the visitors are 58th. Algeria are on the rebuild following an atrocious Africa Cup of Nations campaign. The Desert Foxes went into the continental cup as one of the favourites but failed to get past the group stages, ending bottom of Group D, which featured Angola, Burkina Faso and Mauritania. In their three games, they only managed draws against Angola and Burkina Faso and saw their tournament hopes brought to an end in their final group match when they lost 1-0 to Mauritania. That run of results has seen the Desert Foxes drop a whopping 13 places in the world rankings. Algeria played Bolivia last week, and while they claimed a 3-2 win, it was far from a convincing performance as they had to come from behind and only managed to seal the victory in stoppage time. Still, with home-field advantage, the hosts are the favourites heading into this one.
In contrast, South Africa come into this contest following an excellent AFCON campaign where they entered as 12/1 outsiders but managed to claim the bronze medal, beating DR Congo. Throughout that competition, Bafana Bafana were led by their resilient defence. In six AFCON games, they kept an impressive four clean sheets and only conceded three goals. As a result of their top three finish, South Africa received a significant bump upward in the world rankings, now up to 58th, eight places better off than they were at the start of the year. Bafana Bafana were also in action last week and played out a 1-1 draw against Andorra in Annaba. With that result, they have now only suffered one defeat in their last seven games, which was their AFCON semi-final loss to Nigeria. The visitors have failed to beat this opponent in their last three attempts, though the last match between these two was way back in January 2015.

Our Algeria vs South Africa Prediction
While South Africa’s defence has been their major strength in recent times, coach Hugo Broos has made a host of changes to his squad for these friendlies in preparation for the World Cup qualifiers later in the year. Algeria have not been at their best of late, but they are still a very attacking side and are a handful for any defence. This should be a close one, and we expect to see a few goals. Our Algeria vs South Africa prediction: Over 2.5.
2 Goals Ahead Early Payout Offer
One of the worst feelings when placing a football bet is when the team that you have backed has gone into a multiple-goal lead only to be clawed back to a draw or to lose the game in question. This is something that bet365 has rectified for their bettors courtesy of this offer. If the team that you backed takes a two-goal lead your bet will be paid out as a winner. That is any two-goal lead so 2-0, 3-1, 4-2 etc will all be paid out early as a winner if your team is in that position. This is available in 80 different competitions including the major leagues across Europe and can be played on the full-time result market. Singles and multiples are both valid for this offer but you cannot bet on enhanced price markets. As with most promotions, if you cash out a bet in full, the bet will no longer be available for the offer in question. It also cannot be used if you bet on the draw on a game.
