ASO Chlef vs USM Alger Prediction: End of the road for the home side

ASO Chlef vs USM Alger will square it off at Stade Mohamed Boumezrag in this round six of the Algeria Ligue 1. Both teams are on an unbeaten run into this fixture. Let's preview this game and make predictions. 

ASO Chlef are coming off a 1-1 draw with Khenchela and will look to secure a win here. In that game, Mohamed Bakir’s strike denied ASO Chlef maximum points, canceling Abderrahamne Bourdim’s strike from the spot. In the meantime, ASO Chlef have settled for a draw in each of their last matches, ending goalless against Constantine, MC Oran, and Olympique Akbou. This season, ASO Chlef have accumulated four points from possible 12, leaving them seated 15th in the standings. 

USM Alger's last league encounter was against Mostaganem, and they earned a win. In that game, Sekou Gassama's strike in the first half was enough to seal maximum points. In the meantime, USM Alger have avoided a defeat in their last six matches, winning four and drawing two. In that run, USM Alger scored six goals while conceding one. This season, USM Alger have accumulated 11 points from their first five matches, leaving them seated 4th in the league’s log. 

USM Alger have been very decent this season, and I am backing them to win. While ASO Chlef have been decent defensively, I think their poor offensive performance will be a huge disadvantage for them. This could be a low-scoring game, thanks to ASO Chlef's strong defensive record, while USM Alger takes maximum points.
