CR Belouizdad vs ASO Chlef Prediction: The hosts will likely secure a win here

On Tuesday, CR Belouizdad will face off against ASO Chief at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in this highly anticipated fixture. The hosts, who are undefeated in their last four games, will be keen to amass all the points as they fight to play in the CAF Champions League next season. At the same time, the guests can’t afford to lose here, as they are two points ahead of the relegation zone. 

Last five games: LWDWD

After a wasteful afternoon against the league champions, CR Belouizdad are now tied on points with CS Constantine on the log. Marcos Paqueta's comrades settled for a negative stalemate against NC Magra as they were ineffective in front of goal. 

The hosts, who have already lost the league to their rival, are now seated in the CAF Champions League spot. CR Belouizdad head here with eight points from a combined fifteen in recent games, as they sit in second place on the table. 

After failing to qualify his side for the CAF Champions League knockout round, Marcos Paqueta's job could be on the line if he fails to make the top two. CR Belouizdad have won ten, lost twice, and shared the spoils twice in their previous fourteen home games. 

Last five games: DWWLD

In the absence of their top scorer, Yawo Evra Agbagno, ASO Chief, failed to convert their chances against JS Kabylie. ASO, who scored from the spot kick at the break, went blank in the second half as the visitors found their way back into the game. The (1-1) stalemate could cost them in their quest to survive relegation this season. 

ASO Chlef have been inconsistent in the division this season; however, their recent stalemate was their third setback lately. 

ASO Chlef have picked up thirty-five points from a combined eighty-four, scoring thirty-eight and conceding thirty-nine. The hosts have been let down by their defence this season, conceding the second-most goals in the division. ASO Chlef have won two, lost eight, and drawn four away from home this season. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, CR Belouizdad have won thirteen while ASO Chelf have recorded five victories and two games ending in a stalemate. The hosts' tactics has always been to win at home and at least come back with a point when playing on the road. More recently, they secured a point against MC Alger away from home, and the expectation is for them to ensure the maximum points here. ASO Chelf are still missing the service of Evra Agbagno and Gape Mohutsiwa, who are on international duty. They have few options in their attacking department, and we think they would struggle to convert their chances here. However, anything can happen and we expect them to at least get a goal here.

CR Belouizdad are desperate for the maximum points as they must win all their matches to retain the second spot; bet home win and over 1.5 goals.

We also expect this game to produce more goals after the break for 2.16.

Good luck!
