NC Magra vs Khenchela Prediction: Favorites Magra to take advantage of home turf

This clash for round 28 of the Algerian Ligue 1 will take place at the Magra Municipal Stadium and feature NC Magra taking on Khenchela. The squad that will be playing at home has a significant advantage and is the favorite to win, whereas the Khenchela team will be coming into this having won their previous encounter against Arba.

In their previous games, NC Magra had a record of two wins against ASO Chlef and CS Constantine and one loss to El Bayadh, with two draws with CR Belouizdad and USM Alger. NC Magra were only able to score three goals while allowing two goals to be scored against them in those matches. During the current league season, NC Magra has scored a total of 1.04 goals on average per match. In terms of disciplinary actions, the home team has been issued 64 yellow cards and three red cards. This season, NC Magra has an average possession rate of 49.68%, which indicates that the team is apparently unable to keep hold of the ball. The home side now sits in 12th place in Algeria Ligue 1 with 34 points from 27 matches.

Khenchela comes into this match having won one of their previous five matches against RC Arbaa, lost three of those matches against MC Alger, CS Constantine, and US Biskra, and drawn one of those matches against JS Saoura. During those games, the away team only managed to score two goals while giving up ten. Away from home, Khenchela's offense only managed to score 0.89 goals per game, while their defense let in 0.93. As a result of their disciplinary actions, the team was given 23 yellow cards and three red cards. This season, Khenchela has held the ball an impressively high percentage of the time, averaging 54.08% of it altogether.

In the club histories of these two teams, they have competed against one another twice, with NC Magra claiming victory in the first matchup but sharing the point in the second matchup. During those encounters, NC Magra scored twice, while Khenchela only managed to score once.

Both teams are likely to give it their all in what could be a competitive and difficult match. In spite of this, it is tough to count out Khenchela in this match due to the fact that there is not a significant gap between the two teams. As a result, I believe that the outcome of this competition will be a competitive match in which both teams will undoubtedly find the back of the net. In addition, while the home team is a heavy favorite to win, it is tough to ignore such low odds; therefore, they should come out victorious.
