Algeria vs Tunisia, Afcon 2017: How to watch live, prediction, betting odds and live streaming info

Algeria take on Tunisia in a Group B clash of the 2017 African Cup of Nations (Afcon) at Stade de Francevillle, Franceville, on Thursday, 19 January.

The Greens started their campaign with a 2-2 draw against Zimbabwe on 15 January. Leicester City star Riyad Mahrez helped his side get an early lead in the first quarter of the match.

However, Kudakwashe Mahachi's goal helped Zimbabwe to pull one back before they took the lead for the first time just before the half-hour mark. Nyasha Liberty Mushekwi converted from a spot kick to make it 2-1 for the southern African nation.

Algeria were on the verge of a defeat before Mahrez scored for the second time in the match in the final quarter to give his side a point in their opening match of the tournament. Georges Leekens will be hoping his side can avoid dropping points when they take on Tunisia on Thursday.

Tunisia suffered a 2-0 defeat at the hands of Senegal in their first group stage fixture of the Afcon. A defeat against Algeria will end their chances of qualifying for the quarter-final.
