Can Algeria Realistically Upset the Flamingos to Qualify for World Cup?

The popularity of women football in North Africa is on the rise. Indeed, Morocco dumped the Super Falcons out of contention for gold in the 2022 Wafcon.

In last year's CAF Women's Champions League, TP Mazembe, coached by a North African lady (Lamia Boumehdi) condemned Edo Queens to third place playoff.

So, I think we should approach this match against Algeria with caution.

I still expect the Flamingos to win handsomely across 2 legs but complacency could be punished.

Algeria scored copious goals across 4 matches in this qualifiers and will be out to cause an almighty upset.

In the likes of Chidi Harmony and Animashaun, we have capable legs to stamp our authority and snatch the World Cup ticket.

I think the team needs a bit of flair injection. This used to be provided by the likes of Taiwo Afolabi who has now graduated.

That said, I am looking forward to the last round of qualifiers.
