Match Preview
Algeria caused some trouble for favored Egypt when they locked horns in the previous African Championship final in 2023 but had to settle for a 3-1 loss. Can they step up and force an upset today?
Egypt Starting Strong After a Rocky Opening
Egypt had a tough start to the African Championship 2026, losing the first set against underdogs Gambia but then recovering quickly and claiming a 3-1 victory, while fully justifying their role as favorites against Morocco a couple of days later and winning 3-0.
Their playoff journey started yesterday, cruising past Central African Republic in straight sets while allowing just 31 points to the opposition.
Egypt are the reigning African champions, winning the championship three years ago by defeating Algeria in the grand final.
Algeria Fighting Through a Tougher Road
Algeria’s path to the AC 2026 quarterfinals was not as smooth as Egypt’s, finishing the group stages with one victory and one defeat.
After starting the tournament with a 3-0 win over Chad, they suffered a surprising defeat to Nigeria in five sets and finished in second place.
The Fennec Foxes locked horns with Kenya in the Round of 16, which was a rough battle in the opening two sets, but they ultimately came out on top, taking a 3-1 victory.
Verdict
While I do agree Algeria’s chances of winning this clash are not great, I believe they can put up a fight against favored Egypt. It’s been a very long time since they lost to this opponent in straight sets.
