Chelghoum vs JS Saoura Prediction: Saoura must step up on the road

The location of this round 27 encounter in the Algeria Ligue 1 between Chelghoum and JS Saoura is set to take place at the Stade 11 Décembre 1960. The home team is still mired in last place in the league, while the odds of the away team, JS Saoura, qualifying for the CAF competition remain quite high.

In their prior games, Chelghoum failed to pick up a single win, losing to Constantine, MC Oran, and ES Sétif while playing to draws with Paradou and MC Alger. Chelghoum were able to score two goals while also allowing 14 goals in those contests. During the current league season, Chelghoum have scored 0.35 goals on average in every game they have played. In terms of disciplinary actions, the home team has been issued 31 yellow cards but no red cards. Chelghoum are unable to maintain possession of the ball, as seen by their 43.16% season-averaged possession rate thus far this season.

JS Saoura will come into this match having won two of their most recent five matches against Magra and USM Alger, lost to Constantine, and drawn two of their most recent five matches against USM Khenchela and Kabylie. Six goals were scored by the club, while they allowed four goals to be scored against them in those contests. When playing away from home, JS Saoura had a goal differential of 0.85 while scoring 1.12 goals per game on average. The visiting squad was shown a total of 63 yellow cards and 2 red cards for disciplinary reasons. The JS Saoura team has a very strong possession of the ball, as evidenced by their overall average of 51.38% throughout this season.

Only three times in recent history have Chelghoum and JS Saoura competed against one another. JS Saoura emerged victorious in two matches, while one of the games was decided by a draw. In the head-to-head matchups, Chelghoum did not score any goals, while JS Saoura were able to score 10 goals.

The host team must have played MC Alger to a draw the previous weekend, but, despite being back on their own field, I do not see them giving a top-notch performance in this matchup. In the meantime, despite the fact that JS Saoura have not had much success in their most recent matches, I believe that this encounter should provide them with an opportunity to get back to their winning ways. In addition, even if they don't score, I have complete faith that the team playing at home will let in at least two goals.
