Yacine Brahimi admits Ghana is perhaps going to be Algeria’s biggest threat at the 2015 Africa Cup of Nations.

The North Africans are in the same group as the Black Stars along with South Africa and Senegal.

Christian Gourcuff’s side has been tipped as favourites to win the tournament following their fine display at the 2014 World Cup and the hot form shown during the 2015 AFCON qualifiers.

Ghana star Andre Ayew however believes the Black Stars are rather the team to beat in the proverbial group of death.

Brahimi appears to be sharing the same sentiments but wants his team to prove doubters wrong with their performance on the field of play.

“The only way to respond is on the field,” he said.

“Now Ghana for me in the past five years has been the best team on the continent, but you know, a game everything is possible.

“From my side, I will go to the CAN and we'll see.”

Algeria will face Ghana in the second group game in Mongomo on January 23.
