The tactical read
Algeria typically set up in 4-2-3-1 and make their first change around minute 60 - roughly 5 substitutions per game. Expect the first-sub window around then, earlier if they're chasing the game.
Over the last 4 matches, the same shape held up in 3 of them. The quickest hook came at 46' away at Jordan; the longest wait stretched to 71' at home to Austria.
Results have gone against them lately (1-1-2 from the last 4) - under pressure, managers often get more reactive with team news and substitutions than their season-long averages suggest.
