After a hard-fought draw against Sudan (0-0), bravely salvaged despite playing the entire second half a man down following Adam Ounas' red card, Algeria heads into its second match of the 2025 Arab Cup with mixed feelings. On Saturday, Madjid Bougherra's men will take on Bahrain, who narrowly lost their opener against Iraq. This clash is crucial for both sides to keep their qualification hopes alive.

Previous encounters between Algeria and Bahrain:
1 – 05/09/2014 – Friendly: Bahrain 0–2 Algeria
2 – 30/12/2018 – Friendly: Algeria 1–0 Bahrain
3 – 12/01/2021 – Friendly A’: Bahrain 1–3 Algeria

These favorable precedents fuel hope for a vital victory in Qatar.
