This will be the first-ever meeting between Algeria and Slovenia.

Algeria are unbeaten in their two opening matches at World Cups, beating West Germany 2-1 in 1982 and drawing 1-1 with Northern Ireland in 1986.

Algeria are the only team to have ever won two group stage matches at a World Cup and still fail to make it to the next round, doing so in 1982 (since two teams qualified from each group).

The African side has never kept a clean sheet in six finals matches.

Slovenia’s only previous World Cup appearance in 2002 saw them lose all three games.
