OGC Nice forward Mohamed Amoura returns to the Algeria squad in form, with 2 goals and 2 assists in Ligue 1, but has been silent in the Fennecs shirt since 14 October 2025.
Mohamed Amoura arrives at the Algeria gathering with stats that speak for themselves: 2 goals and 2 assists in 8 Ligue 1 matches in the OGC Nice shirt this season, according to Sport News Africa. The 26-year-old Algeria international returns to the national team in fine form, reports africasoccer.com, ahead of a double header against Togo on 14 and 17 November.
The contrast is striking. At club level, he scores and sets up his teammates. For the national team, he has not scored since 14 October 2025, the date of a penalty brace against Uganda (2-1). More than a year without a goal for the man who was named top scorer in the African qualifiers for the 2026 World Cup, with 10 goals in 10 matches.
At Nice, a creative left winger
On the pitch at Angers, Nice won 2-0, and Amoura created Sofiane Diop’s opening goal after less than two minutes of play, according to africasoccer.com.
Used on the left side, he cuts inside and contributes to the defensive work, again according to africasoccer.com. That profile partly explains his start to the Ligue 1 season.
The weight of a goalless run
With the national team, the machine has seized up. Since his penalty brace against Uganda, Amoura has not found the net for the Fennecs. At the previous gathering, he provided two assists against Zambia, then ended the match in tears after missed chances and criticism from supporters, according to africasoccer.com.
Togo, twice, to get back on track
Algeria face Togo twice: on 14 November, then on 17 November in the return match. These two games give Amoura the chance to rediscover scoring in the national shirt after more than a year without a goal.
