Algeria and Burkina Faso will face off on November 19, 2013 for the last African spot available at the 2014 FIFA World Cup.Preview: World Cup qualifying battle for the last African spot

Algeria ended a 24-year wait by qualifying for the 2010 FIFA World Cup. The country is hoping to follow up on this achievement by making their fourth appearance at the tournament next summer. 

History is against the Stallions of Burkina Faso who have never played at a World Cup. They will be up against Algeria’s remarkable record of 19 matches unbeaten in Blida, which stretches all the way back to 2002.

However, the advantage is the Stallions’ ahead of the second leg. After amazing the public at the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations by grabbing silver, Burkina Faso are poised to complete the year on a high. 

 

Despite his side’s two away goals, former Algerian captain Anthar Yahia sounded very cautious during an interview on Monday.

“Burkina Faso reached the final of the Africa Cup of Nations and they have proved to be a very good team. They only need a draw to qualify and so it could be difficult for Algeria, who also need to be cautious when going forward,” he explained.

The pressure is on the hosts to overturn their 3-2 deficit. This CAF World Cup qualifying playoff match promises to look like a final. Tunisia fell emphatically away to Cameroon last Sunday, meaning that Algeria could become North Africa’s only representative in Brazil. 

Last Saturday, tragedy hit Blida as over 50 people got injured while trying to purchase tickets at the Mustapha Tchaker stadium. On Tuesday, agony will hit one of the two teams as the line-up of African contenders at the 2014 FIFA World Cup will finally be complete. Up to 10,000 security agents will be deployed to control crowds and assure that violence does not steal the show at the end of the day.
