Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>While Mali joined Morocco and Senegal in the play-offs of the African zone for qualification to the Qatar World Cup on Thursday, Algeria are also itching to seal their ticket in Group A when they meet Djibouti on Friday.<\/p>\n

Djamel Belmadi’s men are favorites to win the encounter, having thumped the Horn of Africa nation 8-0 in September.<\/p>\n

The Algerians have gone 31 games without defeat, an impressive and exclusive feat only managed by Italy with 37 games, and Brazil and Spain at 35 matches each.<\/p>\n

Having suffered humiliation in the first leg, the Djiboutians will be looking to minimize damage this time round.<\/p>\n

“We respect them a lot, they remain undefeated, it is the best African team currently. So we hope to achieve a feat,” said forward Samuel Akinbinu.<\/p>\n

The African champions will aim to continue their unbeaten in their last Group A fixture against Burkina Faso and then at the African Cup of Nations in January in Cameroon, where the fennecs pooled alongside Sierra Leone, Equatorial Guinea and Ivory Coast.<\/p>\n
