Burundi's problem is at the other end
Togo beat Burundi 1-0 on Friday through Karim Dermane's early goal. It continued a run of defeats by margins of one or two goals, rather than heavy collapses.
Five matches without scoring make it hard to build a case for the hosts even at @9.00. They have kept games relatively close, but have not supplied the goal that might turn one of those performances into a point.
Algeria recovered after Zambia equalised
Jaouen Hadjam scored inside two minutes against Zambia. After Fashion Sakala levelled, Ibrahim Maza and Anis Hadj Moussa struck to secure a 3-1 victory.
Amoura assisted the first two goals, and Algeria finished with 21 shots to Zambia's 12, including six on target. The visitors bring both recent chance creation and several contributors to the scoring, rather than relying on a single opening.
Burundi have stayed close without scoring
The @1.23 away win is short, and Burundi's narrow defeats argue against expecting a huge margin. What supports the result bet is the contrast between Burundi's repeated blanks and Algeria's six shots on target in their opener.
Algeria did concede after taking an early lead against Zambia. Burundi need to find a level of attacking output absent from their last five games to exploit a similar lapse.
Verdict
Back Algeria to win @1.23. Burundi's five-match scoring drought is the decisive weakness, rather than an expectation of a high-scoring away win.
