Read this Algeria vs Slovenia preview and bet on this game with our recommended bookmakers.
A decisive game at the 2010 World Cup sees Algeria and Slovenia meet for the first time ever in international competition on Sunday at the Peter Mokaba Stadium in Polokwane. Defeat for either team would be a damaging blow to their ambitions of qualifying for the next round.
Slovenia could probably not have picked a better time to play Algeria. The Desert Foxes lost four straight games before managing to secure a facile 1-0 win over the United Arab Emirates. Coach Rabah Saadane has come down heavily on his players and has announced that he will BENCH captain Yazid Mansouri due to the latter’s poor form. Mansouri will be replaced by Santander’s Medhi Lacen in midfield. The skipper’s armband will be worn by defender Antar Yahia in Polokwane on Sunday.

Slovenia shocked Guus Hiddink’s Russia in the European playoffs to reach the World Cup. In comparison to Algeria, Slovenia have had a pretty decent buildup to the World Cup, as their recent results show you.
Slovenia form- most recent games first- Slovenia scorers in brackets
Slovenia 3-1 New Zealand ( Milivoje Novakovic*2, Andraz Kirm)
Slovenia 4-1 Qatar ( Milivoje Novakovic, Andraz Kirm, Botjan Cesar, Bojan Jokic)
Slovenia 1-0 Russia ( Zlatko Dedic)
Russia 2-1 Slovenia ( Nejc Pecnik)
San Marino 0-3 Slovenia ( Milivoje Novakovic, Dalibor Stevanovic, Marko Suler)
As you can see, Novakovic is regularly amongst the goals and is a good tip for scoring any possible Slovenian goals. Other possible scorers include Robert Koren and Valter Birsa.
Verdict:- Both teams need to make this count and given their form in the runup to the tournament, Algeria might not be able to get the result they require.
Algeria 1-2 Slovenia ( Ghezzal/ Novakovic, Stevanovic)
