Algeria, a powerhouse in African football, will travel to Europe for a friendly match against Sweden this Tuesday. This encounter marks only the second time these two teams have faced off, both in friendly matches. Below is a preview and prediction for the upcoming game.
Sweden is gearing up for their World Cup qualification campaign, which begins in September, and they aim to build momentum with a third consecutive victory. Their recent 2-0 friendly win against Hungary has boosted their confidence, marking their seventh victory in nine matches. The Swedes have bounced back strongly since their surprising 1-0 defeat to Luxembourg in a March friendly.
Algeria, coming off a comfortable 2-0 victory against Rwanda, now face a tougher challenge. The former African champions are in fine form, remaining unbeaten in their last 12 matches, with only two draws in that run.
This match will test Algeria’s mettle, though they’ll aim to maintain their defensive solidity, having kept clean sheets in their last three games. However, in two of their last five away matches, the Desert Warriors failed to find the net. Notably, they were unable to score in their sole previous encounter with Sweden in 2022.
Algeria heads to Friends Arena for their next match, having competed in one game during the International Friendlies season. They’ve secured one victory, no draws, and no defeats, averaging three points per game.
Across the entire 2025 season, Algeria has achieved five wins, zero draws, and one loss.
Their attack has been potent, netting 16 goals overall. In the International Friendlies, they’ve scored twice, averaging two goals per game, while their season-wide average stands at 2.67 goals per match.
Leading the offensive charge is midfielder Mohamed Amoura, the team’s top scorer with five goals this season. Amoura has also been a key playmaker, contributing three assists.
Defensively, Algeria has allowed six goals across all competitions, averaging one per game. In the International Friendlies, their defense has been flawless, conceding zero goals in one match, maintaining a clean sheet average.
