Amoura is Algeria’s most important player for this tournament. With Mahrez at 35 and managing minutes, the 26-year-old striker carries the goal-scoring burden — and against Argentina’s high line, his channel running may be the most exploitable feature of the matchup.
His CAF qualifying form proved he can deliver when expected to lead the line; the World Cup stage is the real test. A breakout tournament here likely earns him a move to a top-five European league next summer.
Strengths
- Off-the-ball running into the channels — relentless and accurate timing
- Two-footed finishing inside the box
- Pressing intensity — Petković's defensive trigger from the front
Recent form
Double-figure Bundesliga goals through 2025-26 for a mid-table Wolfsburg side.
His 10-goal CAF qualifying haul made him the highest African scorer in a single qualification campaign since Asamoah Gyan (Ghana) in 2014.
