ES Setif vs ASO Chlef Prediction: Both teams are not reliable

Stade 8 Mai 1945 will host the Algeria Ligue 1 encounter between ES Setif and ASO Chlef. The home team is the favorite here, while the visiting side is the underdog. I will preview this game and make predictions. 

ES Setif's last league encounter was against Constantine, and they lost 2-1. Fethullah Tahar's strike put Constantine in the lead in that encounter, but Abderrahmane Bacha's strike leveled the score for ES Setif. In the meantime, in the 40th minute, Abdennour Belhocini's strike denied this side a point, at least in that encounter. Heading into this game, ES Setif have eight points from their first six matches and sit 8th in the league standings. 

ASO Chlef's last encounter was against USM Alger, and they will look to turn the tables. In the meantime, ASO Chlef remain unbeaten in their last matches, suffering defeat only once this season. However, ASO Chlef have five points from their first six games, scoring only once and conceding three. In that run, ASO Chlef's lone defeat was against Paradou AC, drawing Constantine, MC Oran, Olympique Akbou, and Khenchela. 

The two teams will need more than luck to win here, looking at how inconsistent they have been this season. Heading into this game, the two teams have not been outstanding, but the home team is on another level, given they are a bit better in performance. As favorites, take ES Setif to win this game, an encounter that could end with few goals.
