After a six year absence, Algeria are finally back at the African Cup of Nations.
The Algerians World Cup qualifier tag means that they are group favourites and will seek to live up to that reputation.
Malawi does not appear to have injury concerns. Algeria has injury problems to cope with. Antar Yahia has suffered an injury which is still healing.
Chiukepo Msowoya scored six goals in the qualifying phases and is subject to much interest from both insude and outside Africa.
Karim Ziani is the most agressive and creative playmaker who works hard on both sides of the ball.
The Algerian team are tipped to win the first round because they know their next opponents Angola and Mail will be more difficult to defeat.
