Algeria vs Zimbabwe, Afcon 2017: How to watch live, prediction, betting odds and live streaming info

Algeria will take on Zimbabwe in the third match of the 2017 African Cup of Nations (Afcon) at Franceville, in Gabon on Sunday (15 January). These two sides are pitted in Group B, with Senegal and Tunisia.

The Greens have managed to win the tournament once in 1990 when they defeated Nigeria in the final. That has been their only success in the African Cup of Nations so far and they will be targeting for their second title in Gabon this year.

Leicester City star player Riyad Mahrez, who helped the Foxes win the Premier League title in the 2015/16 season, will be hoping to emulate the model at the King Power Stadium with the national side to lift the Afcon title.

The 2017 edition of the African tournament will be Zimbabwe's third appearance in total and first in the last six editions. So far, the Warriors have not made it past the group stages and they have a tough competition this time around to make it to the knockout stage.

Callisto Pasuwa will be hoping his side can create history by progressing to the quarter-final of the 2017 African Cup of Nations.
