Kick-off: December 31, 2025, at 18:00.

In the third round of the Africa Cup of Nations, a match between Equatorial Guinea and Algeria will take place at the Moulay Hassan Stadium in Rabat. The situation in the group has been decided ahead of time: the visitors confidently top the standings and have already secured a place in the playoffs, while the hosts, after two defeats, have lost even their mathematical chances of advancing from the group. The head-to-head history between these teams includes three matches and shows complete balance, with one win for each side and one draw. Despite the lack of tournament intrigue, the clash in the Moroccan capital will be a matter of prestige for both national teams.

Equatorial Guinea opened the tournament with a dramatic defeat to Burkina Faso, conceding twice in stoppage time after the sending-off of Basilio Ndong, 2-1. In the second round against Sudan, it created plenty of chances but failed to convert them, while the outcome of the match was decided by an unfortunate own goal by Saúl Coco, 0-1. For Equatorial Guinea, the game against Algeria is an opportunity to go out with a statement and prove that the setbacks of the opening rounds were merely a coincidence of circumstances.

The Algeria national team under Vladimir Petković is confirming its status as one of the main contenders for the title. It is playing balanced football and has yet to concede a single goal in the opening rounds: a 3-0 rout of Sudan was followed by a pragmatic 1-0 victory over Burkina Faso. Team leader Riyad Mahrez is in excellent form, scoring the winning goal from the penalty spot in the previous match. With six points already secured, it can afford to rotate the squad in the final group game in order to conserve energy ahead of the knockout stage.
