Algeria coach Djamel Belmadi: Burundi play with a similar style as Kenya

Algeria coach Djamel Belmadi believes their friendly game against Burundi will prepare them for their meeting with Kenya in the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations this month.

On Tuesday, the Desert Warriors will lock horns with Olivier Niyungeko’s men in Qatar as they continue their build-up to the continental tournament.

The North Africans are hoping to hit the ground running when they open their campaign in the African showpiece against the Harambee Stars on June 23.

Belmadi affirmed that the Swallows play a similar style of play as Kenya, which will help them in their quest to claim victory against Dennis Oliech’s men.
