Defending champions Algeria will be looking to get their Africa Cup of Nations campaign back on track when they take on Equatorial Guinea at Japoma Stadium.
The defending champions are targeting three points after a disappointing goalless draw against Sierra Leone in their Group E opener. Equatorial Guinea were beaten against Ivory Coast by 1-0 in their first game of the tournament.

Algeria were guilty of being wasteful in attack against Sierra Leone, which could force Belmadi into making some alterations to his forward line.
Youcef Belaili shook off a knock in the first half to last the full 90 minutes in the aforementioned game, but the winger could be dropped to the bench for this one.
Head coach Juan Micha would have certainly liked what he saw against Ivory Coast, and we expect him to name an unchanged XI as a result.
Record goalscorer and skipper Emilio Nsue had a quiet day in front of goal last time out but remains his nation's most dangerous weapon and is one to look out for.
Algeria possible starting lineup:
M'Bolhi; Bensebaini, Atal, Mandi, Bedrane; Belkebla, Brahimi, Boulaya; Mahrez, Bounedjah, Benrahma.
Equatorial Guinea possible starting lineup:
Sapunga; Ndong, Coco, Akapo, Obiang; Salvador, Ganet, Buyla, Machin; Nsue, Hanza.
