Senegal v Algeria: How to watch Africa Cup of Nations final on TV and live stream
Senegal and Algeria go head-to-head in the Africa Cup of Nations final this weekend
The Africa Cup of Nations has boiled the competition down to just two teams, with Senegal and Algeria to go head-to-head for the trophy.
The game is billed as a showdown between two Premier League superstars with Liverpool’s Sadio Mane and Manchester City’s Riyad Mahrez both scoring three goals in the tournament so far.
Senegal have been efficient in the knockout rounds, winning 1-0 in three consecutive games.
They were almost as solid in the group stages, beating Tanzania and Kenya 2-0 and 3-0 respectively, but their only conceded goal of the tournament came against Algeria in a 1-0 defeat.
North African side Algeria didn’t concede in the group stages, though they had to rely on penalties to defeat Ivory Coast in the quarter-finals.

Who will win? RadioTimes.com says…
The only guarantee is that this will be close.
Both teams have looked steely at the back, and either of their centrepiece stars could decide the game.
However, Algeria’s previous narrow victory over Senegal will give them confidence while Youcef Belaïli and Adam Ounas will take the weight off Mahrez’s shoulders.
Prediction: Senegal 1-2 Algeria
