CAIRO: Algeria goalkeeper Lounes Gaouaoui stated that he wouldn t fly back home if he conceded three goals against Egypt in the anticipated World Cup qualifier between both teams at Cairo Stadium.

A victory by a three-goal margin for the Pharaohs will see them reach the World Cup due to a better goal difference.

However, Gaouaoui is convinced that the match will end either in a win for the Desert Foxes or in a goalless draw.

The Egyptians don t have enough firepower to score against us even once, and that s why notching three goals sounds like a pipe dream, the first-choice goalie told Algerian paper Ahkbar Al-Youm.

We can win this game, and the worst-case scenario is a goalless stalemate.

Over our five qualifying games I have only conceded two goals, and that s why I ll be laid-back against Egypt.

I m astonished to hear that the Egyptians are looking to score three goals, it s just absurd.

If they do so, I won t get back to Algeria.
