Leads the line for Algeria

Fresh off a brace in the latest warm-up against Bolivia, Gouiri is expected to lead the line for Algeria heading into the World Cup.

Analysis: Gouiri arrives at the World Cup as Algeria's expected starting striker and primary finishing threat, coming off an impressive season with Marseille in which he scored 11 goals and added five assists across 28 appearances in all competitions. The 26-year-old is expected to lead the line as the main attacking weapon, responsible for converting the chances Algeria's creative players generate and contributing to set-piece situations. His international career has been repeatedly disrupted by injury misfortune, having missed the last two AFCON competitions entirely, and across almost three years with the national team he has managed just 22 appearances, contributing eight goals in that time. The limited international minutes mean his chemistry with the squad's attacking unit is still developing relative to his standing as a starter, but a brace against Bolivia in Algeria's final warm-up fixture however sent a clear statement of intent, arriving at the tournament with his shooting boots on and confidence high heading into the group stage opener.
