The Algerian World Cup Predictions

Algeria squeezed into Group C with a win over the former African champions, Egypt. However, they are not picked to win the World Cup as Group C is a very tough group this time around. The best odds are against Slovenia with it only getting worse as they face England and the U.S.. Ladbrokes.com offers a 150/1 odds bet of Algeria winning the whole thing. Algeria surprised everyone with a victory over the favored Egypt, but Slovenia is possibly a sleeper as well with their big win over the Russians. If Algeria can make it through their group, they may have a chance.
