CS Constantine vs ES Mostaganem Prediction: Pressure on the home team to get their first league win of the campaign

CS Constantine will be desperate to secure their first victory of the season when they host ES Mostaganem at the Stade Ben Abdelmalek Ramdhan on Wednesday. The visitors, who are playing their first away game in the top flight, will be poised to get back-to-back wins.

The Smurfs began their league campaign with a toothless stalemate on the road against ASO Chlef. After their success in the CAF Champions League, CS Constantine failed to live up to expectations against their opponent. CS Constantine head here after finishing in third place in the Algerian Ligue. Even though they finished as the runner-up a season before, CS Constantine had a horrible ending, winning just once in their last five games. 

CS Constantine are more of an attacking side, with more than forty-six goals scored last season, but are yet to find the back of the net this campaign.

The newly promoted team began their league journey with a (2-1) victory over MC Oran at home. After conceding first before the break, Toufik Addadi and Ramdane Hitala scored a goal apiece to secure the maximum points for their side. 

Mostaganem will commence their league journey after their success in Division Two last campaign. ES Mostaganem were the best side in League Two, leading with eleven points at the top of the log. ES Mostaganem scored sixty goals the previous season while conceding eleven goals. 

ES Mostaganem might not be familiar with division one sides but stands a better chance here, considering their recent form.

CS Constantine made some notable signings during the summer, but their foreign players are yet to feature in the league this campaign. Omeyele Tosin (Nigeria), Salifou Tapsoba (Burkina Faso) and Melo Ndiaye (Senegal), who missed the first game of the championship against ASO Chlef (0-0), will be available for tomorrow's encounter against ES Mostaganem, counting on the first-day update. 

We expect an aggressive approach from the hosts, and we are backing them to score before the break for 1.70.

After watching ES Mostaganem's first game of the season, we believe they stand a chance of getting a goal here, too; bet on BTTS for 2.28.

We expect the hosts to win and score more than once here for 1.73.

Good luck!
