Algeria’s Mahrez predicts difficult trip to Nigeria

Algeria striker, Riyad Mahrez has warned his teammates to expect a difficult trip as they visit Nigeria next month for the second game of the Russia 2018 World Cup qualifiers while expressing disappointment on the 1-1 draw against Cameroon on Sunday.

The Leicester City striker added that they must work harder in order to put their World Cup campaign back on track.

“Now we have to think about the next match. We will have a difficult trip to Nigeria,” Mahrez said at the post match conference.

“We will properly prepare for this match because it will be even more difficult than the first game against Cameroon.

The current PFA Players’ Player of the Year added that, “We have no choice but to seek a positive result. We must do everything necessary to achieve victory.”
