CR Belouizdad vs ES Setif Prediction: The better team will win this game

Week 2 encounter of the Algeria Ligue 1 is here, and CR Belouizdad will be at home against ES Setif. This game will take place at Stade 20 Août 1955 Algiers. How will this encounter unfold?

CR Belouizdad will play their first game of the season here after second last season in the standings. In 30 league games played, this team accumulated 53 and finished 12 points adrift of first-placed MC Alger. However, in their recent matches, this team played AS Douanes in the CAF Champions League qualifier and secured a win on penalties. In their last matches, CR Belouizdad have five wins and one defeat. 

ES Setif started their season with a 1-0 win over El Bayadh. In that game, Akram Djahnit’s strike from the spot was the difference, while Abdelali Hadji also missed from the spot in the second half. In the meantime, a look at ES Setif’s recent matches shows this team has an unbeaten record of five matches, winning four and drawing one. 

Despite starting the season with a win, it is very clear that CR Belouizdad is at a higher level than ES Setif. However, the road team can not be written off here, looking at their unbeaten run at the moment and the level they are playing. With the two teams expected to show character, we expect goals from them, while CR Belouizdad takes maximum points.
