Watch Algeria vs Nigeria at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations today, as FourFourTwo brings you a comprehensive guide on live streams and TV coverage wherever you are in the world.

Algeria have won all four of their last four meetings with Nigeria, dating back to 2017.

It's an imposing record that the Greens will hope can continue, as the two sides face off for a place in the last four of the Africa Cup of Nations.

Nigeria, however, are scoring for fun and have 12 goals already in four matches at this year's competition.

With an attacking spearheaded by the likes of Ademola Lookman and Victor Osimhen, the Super Eagles could be a rank outsider for a late run to the final.

Algeria vs Nigeria: Preview

After topping Group E with three wins from three, Algeria left it late to secure a place in the quarter-finals against DR Congo.

Adil Boulbina’s 119th-minute strike proved decisive, with the Greens now having won 11 of their last 14 matches across all competitions.

However, Algeria have fallen at this very stage in four of their last six AFCON knockout appearances, and will want to end that hoodoo this time around.

Jaouen Hadjam could return to feature, although worries are increasing regarding midfielder Ismael Bennacer's fitness, after he came off against DR Congo.

Nigeria are banging in goals for fun, having thrashed Mozambique 4-0 to reach the last eight in some style.

Having reached at least the semi-finals in 15 of their previous 20 AFCON participations, the three-time winners will be looking to go one better than they did in 2023.

Losing in the final to hosts Ivory Coast, Eric Chelle's side looks in fine fettle and with a squad backed by huge European superstars, is it finally their year?

The Super Eagles look to have a fully fit squad, meaning manager Chelle is likely to retain his preferred 4-4-2 diamond and the lineup deployed against Mozambique and Tunisia.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Algeria 0-1 Nigeria

A tight affair we predict, with Nigeria coming out on top thanks to Osimhen.
