How to watch Equatorial Guinea vs Algeria: Live streams as Riyad Mahrez's Greens gear up for AFCON 2025 round of 16

Watch Equatorial Guinea vs Algeria 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.

Where the rest of the AFCON 2025 group deciding fixtures have something riding on them, Algeria's game against Equatorial Guinea is a surprise dead rubber.

In a tournament otherwise devoid of shock results in the first couple of group stage rounds, Equatorial Guinea suffered an upset against Sudan in game two.

They were duly eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations, leaving Sudan to battle it out with Burkina Faso for second place while they help warm Algeria up for the round of 16.

It isn't the way Juan Micha will have planned out the National Thunder's third match but the first two were disastrous.

Read on as FourFourTwo brings you all the information on how to watch Equatorial Guinea vs Algeria online, on TV, and from anywhere.

Equatorial Guinea vs Algeria: Preview

At the end of Equatorial Guinea's loss against Sudan, captain Carlos Akapo was face-down on the pitch, shirt pulled over his head, furiously kicking his feet and beating his right fist against the turf.

The self-inflicted nature of their failure won't be easy to shake off. Losing 1-0 to Sudan in the second match was the more unexpected result but not the most damaging one.

Equatorial Guinea's loss against Burkina Faso after taking a lead into the fifth minute of time added on was a heartbreaking way to start the tournament and they never recovered.

Algeria, Equatorial Guinea's opponents in Rabat on New Year's Eve, have had it all their own way up to this point.

Riyad Mahrez scored in the second minute of their opening game against Sudan and they breezed through to a 3-0 win.

Mahrez scored from the penalty spot to give Algeria a second win against Burkina Faso in the meeting of the top two seeds in Group E and secure their progress as group winners.

Winning the group means Algeria will stay in Rabat for the remainder of their tournament even if they go all the way.

Vladimir Petkovic's men have been enthusiastically backed in Morocco so far. One suspects many more Algerians will join the party as the knock-out rounds go by.

FourFourTwo's prediction

Equatorial Guinea 0-3 Algeria

A dead rubber it may be, but Algeria haven't conceded a goal yet and they won't want to start now.
