After getting the first part of the job done away from home, Algeria should seal their spot in Qatar as the Fennec Foxes host the Indomitable Lions of Cameroon with the two sides to meet again for the second leg of their World Cup play-off tonight.

The decisive game is set to kick off at 19:30 GMT Tuesday March 29, 2022 at the Stade Mustapha Tchaker in Blida.

Islam Slimani headed in the first-half winner at the Japoma Stadium in Douala to provide Algeria with the impetus in the two-legged tie, after some stout defending kept Cameroon at bay late on.

Away goals are in effect, so the visitors on Tuesday will have to come up with a big result of their own to secure a spot in the World Cup.

After losing to Egypt in the semi-finals when hosting the Africa Cup of Nations earlier this year, missing out on the World Cup would mark a painful few months for Cameroon.

They failed to qualify for the 2018 tournament but have otherwise been regulars on the world stage in recent decades, whereas Algeria made the last-16 in Brazil eight years ago, just their fourth ever appearance at the tournament, before also failing to reach the World Cup in Russia.

New Cameroon manager Rigobert Song stated his unhappiness with Algeria’s defensive approach to the first leg but will likely come up against the same sturdy resistance today.

Kevin Soni could start for the visitors, if Song decides to bolster his offensive options.

Algeria are likely to be unchanged yet have veterans Sofiane Feghouli and Adlene Guedioura available to come in from the bench.

In both sides head to head history, Algeria’s first-leg victory was their first over Cameroon in almost 30 years.

Algeria won twice with two draws while counterparts Cameroon won six times.
