El Bayadh vs Biskra Prediction: Biskra will net in this encounter

El Bayadh and Biskra will square it off at Stade Zakaria Medjdoub in round 2 of the Algeria Ligue 1. In their first game of the season, the two teams ended on the losing end. How will they respond here?

El Bayadh opened their season with a defeattop El Bayadh, a game that ended 1-0. In that game, El Bayadh went behind just 11 minutes into the game, as they conceded from the spot. However, a look at El Bayadh's recent matches saw them lose three and two others against CR Belouizdad and MC Oran while picking wins against Ben Aknoun and US Biskra. 

Biskra opened their league season with a defeat to ASO Chlef, a game that ended 2-1. In that encounter, Toufik Addadi’s strike put Biskra behind before the break, and a 52nd-minute Yawo Agbagno goal extended their opponent’s lead. In the meantime, in the 78th minute, Tarek Adouane’s goal gave Biskra a glimpse of hope, but this side could not at least take a point at full-time. Heading into this game, Biskra has only won one in their last nine league matches. 

The two teams did not have a good start to the season, but they do have a chance of winning here. While Biskra has struggled too much lately, El Bayadh's level of play is a bit better than theirs. With the two teams not too good in defense, I believe both teams will score here. Also, while Bayadh won the last match of this fixture, being at home should also be an advantage for them, and they should win this one, too.
