Young Africans vs USM Alger Prediction: The home side won’t lose here

Welcome to one of the most anticipated games in Africa this season; this exciting matchup will feature Tanzania Heavyweight Young Africans and Algerian Colossus USM Alger at the Benjamin Mkapa National Stadium on Sunday. Both sides met in the group stage with a home victory for each team, and we expect a similar result here.

Yanga Boys qualified for their first-ever Intercontinental finals after knocking out South African-based Marumo Gallants on a (1-4) aggregate. The Yanga Boys were just too good for Marumo Gallants as they beat them home and away. Young Africans were electric at home, scoring twice before the final whistle after a boring halftime while they won (1-2) in South Africa.

Young Africans are unbeaten at home in this tournament, winning four while sharing the spoils once.

The Algerian-based side head here after their (2-0) victory over ASEC Mimosas at home. They have been great in this competition, losing twice over their last ten matches. USM Alger have been solid throughout their games in this tournament and deserved to be in the finals. USM Alger have lost twice and drawn three times on the road in this campaign, scoring four and conceding seven.

Over their last two meetings, Young Africans won (2-1) while the North African side secured a (4-0) victory in Algeria. Young Africans know they have to wrap up this fixture in Tanzania because there won’t be any opportunity for them in Algeria. This football game promises to be closely contested, with both teams likely to play attacking football and go for the win. We expect a high-energy match with plenty of action and drama on the pitch. USM Alger can hurt any side, but we believe the home team will win here for 1.62.

Both teams have talented players who can score goals, with Young Africans boasting the likes of Fiston Mayele and Stephane Ki. In contrast, USM Alger have the likes of Tumisanga Oreboye, Khaled Bousseliou, and speedy Aimes Mahious in their ranks. We expect both sides to get a goal each here for 2.10.

Yanga Boys will win and score more than once for 2.20.

Good luck!
