- Sweden have gone over 2.5 total goals in nine of their last 11 matches.
Correct score prediction: Sweden 2-1 Algeria
With both teams doing great lately, it's hard to see any team having a decisive advantage in this match, although Sweden will have the advantage of playing at home, which is the main reason why we can see them winning.
That being said, we expect a close game and we also see Algeria scoring in this game. After all, they enter this match on a streak of 12 games without a loss, only two of which didn't end with them winning.

Sweden preview: Keeping up their form in friendly matches
With five wins in their last six games, Sweden have been on a great run recently, although half of the games they've played in this span were friendly matches as Sweden still haven't started their World Cup qualifying campaign. Furthermore, Sweden's impressive record in the last edition of the UEFA Nations League was hardly surprising since they were playing in League C, where they didn't belong in the first place.
Sweden are missing their lethal forward duo of Viktor Gyokeres and Alexander Isak in this international window.
Predicted lineup: Olsen (GK), Gudmundsson, Hien, Ekdai, Svensson, Ayari, Saletros, Larsson, Bernhardsson, Elanga & Nygren

Algeria preview: Trying to stay the unbeaten streak alive
It's been 12 games since Algeria last felt the sting of defeat and that is a really impressive run considering that most of these games were competitive matches in either WC or ACN qualifiers.
Algeria will have to manage without Rayan Ait-Nouri in this match since the full-back is back in England where he's looking to complete his move to Man City.
Predicted lineup: Benbot (GK), Atal, Tougai, Bensebaini, Hadjam, Zerrouki, Maza, Bentaleb, Mahrez & Bounedjah

Player to watch: Anthony Elanga
With Gyokeres and Isak both out for this game, other players will have to carry the offensive load and one of them is Elanga. The 23-year-old has notched 22 appearances for the Swedish national team so far, scoring four goals in the process, which actually makes him the team's top scorer in the current squad.
