Head-to-Head Record

There is only one recorded meeting between Algeria and Austria — a 1982 World Cup encounter in which Austria won 2-0. With a sample this limited, spanning more than four decades, the historical head-to-head record carries very little predictive weight. The focus here rightly falls on each side’s current form and their performances in the 2026 tournament.
