Algerian and Moroccan fans are waiting with great eagerness to watch the fiery confrontation that will bring together today, Saturday, the teams of their countries in the Arab Cup quarter-finals in Qatar.
Many observers say that the winner of this match will inevitably be in the final, and perhaps a champion of the Arab Cup, as the two teams showed their fangs from the beginning and imposed themselves as strong candidates for the title.
Morocco started the Arab Cup competitions vigorously by winning by two clean points over Palestine and Jordan, while it overtook Saudi Arabia with a clean goal to qualify at the top of its third group with the full score.
For its part, Algeria qualified again from Group D with a fair play difference from Egypt, after a tie on points (seven points) and goal difference (seven points), as Algeria beat Sudan by four clean, and 2-0 against Lebanon, before they tied with Egypt 1- 1.
Algeria is on a date with a record equation
Algeria is looking forward to the match against Morocco in order to reach the semi-finals of the Arab Cup, and also to equalize a historical record for Italy, which has the longest “unbeaten” streak for world teams.
After a 1-1 draw with Egypt in the last round of the group stage, the Algerian team reached the 36th match in a row without receiving any defeat, which put the team in second place in the world, ahead of Spain (35 consecutive matches without defeat), and Brazil (35 And behind the Italian national team, the record holder, after his series stopped at 37 games.
The Algerian national team has not received any defeat since 2018, specifically since October when it fell to Benin in the African Nations Cup qualifiers with a clean goal, to continue its series, which it may strengthen if it beat Morocco, and may stop in the event of its loss against the “Atlas Lions”.
