Oran vs CR Beni Thour Prediction: Hosts will win both halves

Oran is scheduled to compete against CR Beni Thour at Stade Ahmed Zabana in the 1/32 round of the Algerian Cup. Let's provide comprehensive previews for this match and make a prediction.

Oran's recent match ended in a 2-0 defeat against CR Belouizdad. In that game, Oran allowed their first goal in the 45+9 minutes, courtesy of Youssef Laouafi. Unfortunately, a lackluster response from Oran led to another goal in the 75th minute, with Abderrahmane Meziane Bentathar extending Belouzidad’s lead. Despite this setback, a glance at Oran's last five matches reveals only one victory, achieved against El Bayadh, while the remaining matches concluded in defeats.

CR Beni Thour's most recent match resulted in a goalless draw against Widad Adabi de Boufarik. Examining their last five matches, they suffered a 2-1 defeat on the road against RC Kouba. Despite this setback, CR Beni Thour secured victories against Bejaia, USM Blida, and Harrach. Over the course of these five matches, CR Beni Thour scored a total of 12 goals and conceded five.

The home team boasts a superior squad in terms of both quality play and experience at the top flight. Despite CR Beni Thour's recent performances, they are considered underdogs in this matchup, and I anticipate them not posing a significant challenge for MC Oran. Consequently, I confidently predict a comfortable victory for the hosts by a margin of 3 goals to nil.
