Algeria looks to play a direct style of football with this 4-5-1 formation. This lineup relies on a compact block to deny space to the opposition and looks to launch attacks quickly once the ball is won. The team wants to stay hard to beat and use a single striker to lead the line while the five midfielders provide a wall in the center of the pitch.

Сүх-Очир stays between the posts to command the area. A flat back four forms the defensive base with Мөнхбат and Мягмардорж acting as the central defenders. Мөнхбат is tasked to hold the line while Мягмардорж works to cover space behind him. On the flanks, Цогтбаяр and Түвшинбаяр act as full backs to defend the wide areas and support the center. They must track back to deal with overlapping runners and ensure the defensive unit stays tight.

The midfield is a heavy five man unit designed to control the middle of the park. Дөлгөөн and Амарбаясгалан act as a double pivot to shield the defense and win the second ball. Batchuluun and Мөнх-Эрдэнэ occupy the half spaces to connect the defensive line to the attack. Batbilguun operates in the center to recycle possession and pick up runners. This midfield group works to squeeze the space between the lines and prevent the opponent from playing through the middle.

Algeria uses a lone striker in Даринчулуун to lead the offensive efforts. Since there is only one forward, Даринчулуун must hold up the ball to allow the midfielders to push up. The attack relies on the wide midfielders to provide width and look to deliver crosses into the box. The team looks to hit in behind on the transition to catch the opposition out of position. This setup creates a narrow central presence that forces the opponent to play wide.

This formation offers significant compactness when defending in a mid block. Algeria can create numerical superiority in the center of the pitch by crowding the midfield zone. This makes it very difficult for opponents to find passing lanes through the middle. The team also uses the width provided by the full backs to switch play and stretch the defense when they move into the attacking third.

The 4-5-1 lineup provides a very solid defensive foundation for Algeria. It is a system best suited for matches against teams that dominate possession where they need to sit deep and hit on the break.
