Algeria host Niger in a friendly on Tuesday, October 6 at 3:30 p.m. ET. The model expects a home win, while the most recent meeting between the sides finished goalless. Recent form also sets a clear contrast: Algeria arrive after a strong sequence, and Niger have not won in their listed run.
The latest results were a 4-0 away win against Bolivia on June 10 and a 1-0 home defeat to Mauritania on June 8. They provide context for the fixture, but the model’s forecast is specific to this match. Its view gives Algeria a strong chance of winning, while keeping a draw and a Niger victory in the outcomes.
What the model expects
The model’s outcomes, from likeliest down, are an Algeria win (75.6%), then a draw (18.8%), then a Niger win (5.7%). These probabilities are estimates. Its likeliest result is an Algeria win, and its stated lean is Algeria to win. The forecast therefore points toward a home win, with a draw and an away win also represented.
For goals, the model gives under 2.5 goals at 58.7% and over 2.5 goals at 41.3%. It puts both teams scoring at 20%, and at least one side failing to score at 80%. Its expected-goals figures are Algeria 2 and Niger 0.2, pointing to more of the projected scoring from Algeria.
The likeliest exact scores are 1-0 (21%), 2-0 (19.5%) and 0-0 (14.1%). The score forecasts include a narrow home win, a home win with a larger margin, and a goalless draw. That range reflects the model’s preference for a home victory without ruling out a level result.
