Algeria (W) VS Malawi (W)

Algeria Women's team has completed a tactical transformation in recent years. The head coach mainly adopts a 5 - 3 - 2 defensive formation. Three center - backs combined with two defensive midfielders compress the central space, and the midfielders conduct coordinated pressing simultaneously, which greatly restricts the opponent's offensive passing routes. The team has extremely strict defensive discipline. In the group stage of the previous Women's Africa Cup, they only conceded one goal. In the last eight official matches, the total goals in each game were all less than 3. The proportion of clean - sheet games is 30%. It's very difficult for opponents to break through their defense and create consecutive scoring opportunities. On the offensive end, Algeria relies heavily on counter - attacks and set - pieces. They lack effective means in positional attacks. The average number of goals per game is only 1.33. Most of their shots are taken outside the penalty area, and the conversion rate of shots on target is relatively low. Thus, it's hard for them to continuously pose a threat to the opponent's goal.
