Algeria and Guinea have only met on eleven occasions (4 wins for Algeria, 3 draws and 4 wins for Guinea) where the scales are totally balanced. In goals, it is the Algerian team who has the advantage with 17 goals scored to 13 scored by Guinea. Their last meeting dates back to the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations where Algeria beat Guinea 3-0 in the round of 16 of the competition.

The Oran Olympic Stadium is a Stadium located in the city of Oran, Algeria and has a capacity to hold a total of 40,143 people in its seats, in the future it is planned that this sports venue will be the new home of MC Oran, a soccer team that plays in the First Division of Algeria. In addition, future plans for the stadium include renaming it Stade Abdelkader Fréha in honor of the legendary MC Oran footballer Abdelkader Fréha.

The inaugural match of the stadium was held on June 17, 2021, when the Algerian National Team defeated Liberia 5-1 in a friendly match, making this automatically one of the most luxurious Stadiums in Algeria and on the African continent.

The national team of Guinea did not manage to fight for a ticket to attend the next World Cup in comparison to Algeria, in fact, Guinea did not have a good end of the qualifiers because in the most recent African Cup, the national team of Guinea lost in the round of 16 against Gambia by the minimum difference in the scoreboard, also, in the qualifiers for the next African Cup of Nations, they started on the wrong foot by losing against Egypt by the minimum, however, they could recover on the second matchday and beat Malawi by a 1-0, which keeps them alive to qualify to the next round. This duel will help them to see their mistakes as they face a great opponent, and to improve both individually and collectively.

The Algerian national team failed to qualify for the World Cup to be held in Qatar 2022 in a few months, after having lost in the African qualifiers against Cameroon in a great round-robin duel that ended 2-2 on aggregate but favored Cameroon due to the away goals factor. After the elimination, Algeria played the group phase corresponding to the African Cup of Nations qualifiers, duels that they both won without problems, remaining at the moment as group leaders and almost already thinking of obtaining that qualification. For this duel, Algeria will be looking to rotate and see what will be their selection in the future in the quest to qualify for the next World Cup.

The last FIFA date prior to the Qatar 2022 World Cup kicks off, the teams that managed to qualify for the World Cup will have the opportunity to play two preparation matches to define their 23 selected teams that will have the opportunity to go to the anteroom of world soccer, while, for the teams that unfortunately could not qualify, they will have these matches to sow their bases for the future and fight for a place in the next World Cup. In this duel, Algeria and Guinea, teams that missed out on a ticket to Qatar, will play a friendly match where they will try out several new options for the future, as there is a large margin for error and these duels will not have a direct impact on the outcome.

The Algeria vs Guinea match will be played at Oran Olympic Stadium, in Oran, Algeria. The kick-off is scheduled at 15:00 pm ET.
