El Bayadh vs Khenchela Prediction: Home team wil get a hard-fought victory

Stade Zakaria Medjdoub will be the venue for this round 24 Algeria Ligue 1 action between El Bayadh and Khenchela. Both teams head into this game on a poor run. How will this one end?

El Bayadh are coming off a defeat at the hands of Paradou AC, a road game that ended 1-0. In the meantime, El Bayadh have lost four of their last five league matches. Games against Saoura, ASO Chlef, and Magra ended in defeats in that run. In the meantime, their lone win was against US Souf, a 4-5 encounter. Into this game, El Bayadh have not won any of their last four league matches. The hosts now have 28 points from 23 league games this season; positioned 10th in the league standings, El Bayadh has scored 23 goals while conceding 23 times in the Algeria Ligue 1.

Khenchela are off a 1-2 defeat at the hands of Constantine, and coming here, the visiting team will look to secure a positive result. Looking at their recent league matches, Khenchela have failed to win any of their last five, with the only difference being a goalless draw with MC Oran. Khenchela lost to US Biskra, MC Alger, and Ben Aknoun in other encounters. In those matches, Khenchela scored just five goals while conceding nine. Khenchela are seated 11th in the Algeria Ligue 1 standings, accumulating 28 points from 22 games.

These two teams have only met three times in their club's history. El Bayadh won two in those matches, while the last meeting between them ended in a 2-0 win for Khenchela.

These two teams are not at their best right now and keep struggling. In the meantime, El Bayadh come in as home favorites and benefit from home venue advantage. The visiting team, on the other hand, has scored in each of their last three games while scoring twice in this fixture last time out. Therefore, while the hosts are positioned well to win, a bet on goals from both ends is another option.
