We said: Togo 1-2 Algeria
Togo were shockingly poor in the last match. In fact, to find the last time they conceded five goals in a match, you would have to go all the way back to a 2009 defeat against Bahrain.
That said, we are not suggesting that the hosts are likely to go on to win this match, but we do feel they will keep the scoreline more respectable in this one.
