Preview

If the Desert Foxes progress to the final, captain Riyad Mahrez will be in the reckoning for player of the competition.

The Manchester City midfielder has been dangerous around the box while developing into an inspirational leader.

Nigeria have slowly improved as the tournament has progressed and will provide a stern test for the favoured Algerians.

According to Oluwashina Okeleji of BBC Sport, Arsenal's Alex Iwobi said he and his Nigerian team-mates will not be getting carried away by reaching the last four.

"It's a hard one to say. There's still Algeria, Senegal and Tunisia. All four of us are capable of winning. We've all got quality players. I wouldn't know who's the favourite at this point in time.

"Even though we were able to win two games in the group stage, it wasn't the greatest performance but sometimes you know you don't have to play well to win games.

"Against Cameroon and South Africa I'd say we've done well, we dug deep. But it's not the end, we have to continue against Algeria, we are very confident as we are able to beat the holders and a team that beat the hosts."

Nigeria defeated Cameroon 3-2 in the last 16 and beat South Africa 2-1 in the quarter-finals. However, Algeria represent a step up in calibre.

Of the four nations remaining, Djamel Belmadi's side have been the most fluent in attack. What's more, the six goals they scored in the group phase were accompanied by three clean sheets. That complementary defensive resolve has continued in the knockout stages, with Algeria having conceded just once in the competition.

Senegal are the favourites to win the tournament, but Algeria have the tools to go all the way to a second AFCON triumph.
