ARGELIA - ANGOLA

Algeria is for me one of the main favorites to win the title. They want to make a good performance after a disappointing tournament in 2021 where they lost in the group stage, whilst in 2019 they won it.

They have a great squad with plenty of experience in international tournaments like this one, as they showed in the African Nations Championship in 2023 where they won the title. They also won the Arab Nations Cup in 2021.

The preparation of Argelia has been impressive, with 5 victories in a row between friendlies and World Cup Qualifiers, and are unbeaten since 2022 against Sweden.

Their best player and main star is Riyan Mahrez, but he isn’t the only one. The veteran former Anderlecht player Slimani is also an interesting player to follow, as well as Aissa Mandi (Betis).

Mahrez spoke publicly this week how he felt he let his country down at the last tournament and he will do whatever it takes to get them back to the top again.

On the other hand, Angola has one of the worst teams in the tournament. They lack experience and quality, whilst their preparation has also been so poor playing against very weak teams. In the only “serious” test they had, they were totally outplayed, as shown in the defeat 4:0 against Iran or 1:0 against Ghana.

Argelia should be able to qualify as leaders in this group, as they have two very weak sides (Angola and Mauritania) and only Burkina-Faso is a serious rival in this group. However, they need to start in the right way and achieve an expected but not easy victory.

Argelia has much more quality and experience, and although Angola won’t be an easy team to beat, Argelia has some players who are class above in this fixture and should make the difference to win here.

MALASYA - JORDAN

Equal game here. It’s expected for these two teams and Bahrain to fight for the second position, because most probably Korea Republic will qualify as leaders winning all the three teams.

So this fixture is crucial for both teams if they want to have chances to qualify, and I don’t see any reason for Jordan to be favorites.

Malaysia has a decent squad, with a lot of pace and coming in good form. They are leaders in the World Cup qualifiers with 2/2 victories, as well as some very good performances in their recent games, with three draws against China and Syria (twice).

They’ll surely be motivated here as this is their first Asian Cup appearance since 2007, and never reached the ⅛ finals. Their best player is the young winger Arif Aiman.

On the other hand, Jordan has a very similar team to Malaysia. They have made poor preparation for this tournament, with only 1 victory in their last 9 games, including a huge defeat 6:1 against Japan and also bad results against weak-average teams such as Iraq (2:2) or Lebanon (2:1 loss).

They will be aware of the tough fixtures they have remaining after this opener, and know that if they can get all three points here their chances of getting through the group will greatly increase.

Musa Al-Taamari’s ability will certainly help in that aim, and he epitomises the confidence and strength Jordan have on the ball. On the other hand, they sometimes lack quality with regards to their positioning and keeping things compact.

This will be an open game between two offensive teams who have better players in the attack than in the defense. A draw is very possible here in my opinion, as both teams have similar squads and quality, so I can’t see any favorite here. In this situation, the double chance for Malaysia looks like a great bet for me.

angelia -安哥拉

阿尔及利亚对我来说是夺冠的热门球队之一。在经历了令人失望的2021年小组赛失利后，他们想要取得好成绩，而在2019年他们赢得了小组赛。

他们拥有一支出色的球队，在国际比赛中有丰富的经验，就像他们在2023年非洲国家锦标赛上赢得冠军一样。他们还在2021年赢得了阿拉伯国家杯。

阿根廷队的准备工作令人印象深刻，在友谊赛和世界杯预选赛之间取得了5连胜，并且自2022年对阵瑞典以来保持不败。

他们最好的球员和主要明星是里扬·马赫雷斯，但他不是唯一的一个。前安德莱赫特老将斯里马尼也是一个值得关注的球员，还有曼迪(贝蒂斯)。

马赫雷斯本周公开表示，他觉得自己在上届比赛中让国家队失望了，他将尽一切努力让国家队再次回到顶峰。

另一方面，安哥拉是本届杯赛中表现最差的球队之一。他们缺乏经验和素质，同时他们的准备也很差，对阵非常弱的球队。在唯一一次“严肃”的测试中，他们完全被打败了，就像4:0输给伊朗和1:0输给加纳一样。

安哥拉和毛里塔尼亚这两支球队实力都很弱，而在这个小组中，只有布基纳法索是他们的劲敌。然而，他们需要以正确的方式开始，并取得预期但不容易的胜利。

安哥拉实力更强，经验也更丰富，虽然安哥拉不是一支容易被击败的球队，但在这场比赛中，安哥拉有一些实力出众的球员，他们应该会在这里取得胜利。

马来西亚-约旦

这是平等的游戏。预计这两支球队和巴林队将争夺第二名，因为最有可能的是韩国队将以领先的身份赢得所有三支球队。

因此，如果两支球队都想获得出线的机会，这场比赛对他们来说都是至关重要的，我看不出有任何理由让乔丹成为夺冠热门。

马来西亚是一支不错的球队，速度很快，状态也很好。他们在世界杯预选赛中以2比2的战绩领先，而且在最近的比赛中表现非常出色，三次战平中国和叙利亚(两次)。

他们肯定会受到鼓舞，因为这是他们自2007年以来第一次参加亚洲杯，而且从未进入过决赛。他们最好的球员是年轻的边锋阿里夫·艾曼。

另一方面，约旦有一支与马来西亚非常相似的球队。他们的准备工作很差，在最近的9场比赛中只取得了1场胜利，其中包括6:1惨败日本，以及对伊拉克(2:2)和黎巴嫩(2:1)等弱平均球队的糟糕成绩。

他们将意识到首场比赛后剩下的艰难赛程，并且知道如果他们能在这里全取三分，他们从小组出线的机会将大大增加。

穆萨·阿尔-塔马里的能力肯定会帮助实现这个目标，他是乔丹在球上的信心和力量的缩影。另一方面，它们有时在定位和保持紧凑方面缺乏质量。

这将是两支进攻球队之间的一场开放的比赛，这两支球队的进攻球员比防守球员更出色。在我看来，平局是很有可能的，因为两支球队的阵容和实力都差不多，所以我看不出有哪支球队是最受欢迎的。在这种情况下，马来西亚的双重机会对我来说似乎是一个很好的赌注。
