Algeria seek their first win at this year's Africa Cup of Nations when they take on Burkina Faso at Stade de la Paix on Saturday.
Victory for the Fennecs would see them supplant their opponents, who lead Group D after the first round of fixtures.
We say: Algeria 2-1 Burkina Faso
Algeria should return to winning ways after a disappointing tournament opener to extend their undefeated run over Burkina Faso to four games.

A disappointed Mauritania look to recover from their opening game defeat when they face Angola in their Africa Cup of Nations encounter at Stade de la Paix on Saturday.
The Lions of Chinguetti lost to a late penalty against Burkina Faso in their Group D opener, while Palancas Negras held 2019 champions Algeria to a 1-1 draw.
We say: Mauritania 1-0 Angola
While Mauritania could still be disappointed with the defeat at the hands of Burkina Faso, their defensive compactness puts them in good stead against the Angolans, and they could secure a historic first win at the Africa Cup of Nations against the Palancas Negras.

Tunisia seek a response to their opening defeat at the Africa Cup of Nations when they take on Mali at Amadou Gon Coulibaly Stadium on Saturday.
The Eagles of Carthage were stunned by Namibia on Tuesday, while the West African nation secured a routine victory over South Africa in the first round of fixtures in Group E.
We say: Tunisia 1-1 Mali
Mali seemed more coherent in their opening fixture against South Africa, and that should put them in a place of comfort before facing an under-pressure Tunisia side, who looked ropey in their defeat to Namibia.
Both sides could accept a point in Korhogo, with the teams possibly cancelling each other out on Saturday.
