Hosts Algeria will take on Ivory Coast in a thrilling African Nations Championship quarterfinals showdown this Friday. Algeria are undefeated in the African Nations Championship, dominating the group stage with wins over Mozambique, Libya, and Ethiopia, allowing not a single goal to be scored against them. However, Ivory Coast provide an intriguing challenge, having picked up wins and draws against formidable opponents in Senegal, Uganda, and D.R. Congo.

The Fennec Foxes are aiming for their best-ever CHAN finish, where they reached the last four in the 2011 tournament. Bougherra's men have maintained a strong presence in front of their home crowd, quickly opening the scoring against Mozambique with a seventh-minute goal from Hocine Dehiri. Although they had chances to put the game to bed, the Fennec Foxes will have to be even more wary when they face off against the Elephants.

Ivory Coast had a convincing win over Uganda on Sunday, with Karamoko Sankara and Patrick Ouotro getting the team off to a great start. Moses Waiswa pulled one back, but Aubin Kramo made sure the Elephants collected all three points with the 78th-minute winner. Ivory Coast will now be looking to make it back-to-back wins for the first time since November.

With both sides putting in impressive performances in the group stages and a semi-final spot up for grabs, the stakes are high when Algeria and Ivory Coast face off this Friday. Tune in and witness the fireworks of this African Nations Championship quarterfinals clash.
