The Algerian national team faces Zimbabwe this Thursday, November 13 at 5:30 p.m. at the Prince Abdullah Al-Faisal Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. On paper, it's a friendly encounter, but it's hugely significant for the Greens, with just over a month to go before the kickoff of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco.
Already qualified for the 2026 World Cup, the Fennecs come into this match with no pressure, but with a clear aim to regain rhythm and cohesion. After a successful qualifying campaign, Vladimir Petkovic now wants to use these two tests, against Zimbabwe and then Saudi Arabia on November 18, to lay the groundwork for his preferred starting eleven.Despite several major absences, such as Lucas Zidane, Farès Chaïbi, Ramy Bensebaïni, and Mohamed Amine Tougaï, all sidelined through injury, the Bosnian coach still has a strong squad at his disposal to assess the form of his key players.
The Algeria - Zimbabwe match will kick off at 5:30 p.m. (Algerian time) and will be broadcast live on the following free-to-air channels:
TV6.
This match should, above all, allow for testing new defensive combinations, a sector weakened by the absentees. Aïssa Mandi could be partnered with Samir Chergui or Zineddine Belaïd, while in attack, Bounedjah and Amoura are expected to start to further cement their partnership.Even though the result won't count for anything, it's a great opportunity for Petkovic to observe his squad's attitude against African opposition, even if they're struggling (Zimbabwe are ranked 129th in the FIFA rankings).
