ES Setif vs JS Saoura Prediction: We expect both teams to settle for a share of the spoils here

ES Setif will lock horns against JS Saoura at the 8 Mai Stadium on Friday. Ammar Souayah will be in charge of his fourth game as ES Setif's coach, and he’s yet to register a win since his appointment. At the same time, the visitors will be poised to secure their third consecutive win on the road.

Last five games: WWLDL

The Black and White suffered their second defeat in two games as they were beaten by ES Belouizdad on the road. They would have gone three consecutive games without a victory, but the hosts conceded a penalty in the final few seconds to hand ES Setif their first goal in three matches. Things have not been going in the right direction for Ammar Souayah's men, and only a victory can change their fortunes around here. After the defeat, ES Setif dropped to 5th place on the log and now a point below the fourth spot. They have picked up thirty-four points from a combined sixty-six, scoring twenty-five and conceding twenty-seven times. 

ES Setif have won seven, drawn three, and lost once at home this season.

The visitors claimed the 9th spot on the standings following their deserved (1-2) victory over ASO Chlef on the road. The win came after ther (0-1) defeat on their ground against league leaders MC Alger. JS Saoura's form has skyrocketed in recent games, which can be attributed to their decent defensive display. They have only kept two clean sheets once in their last eleven games and are four points behind the continental spot. JS Saoura have won three, drawn twice, and lost six away from home this season. 

Both sides have won six games each, while eight matches have ended in a share of the spoils over their previous twenty meetings. Their last seven meetings have produced a stalemate; we can’t override this record. Even though the hosts will be determined to return to winning ways, the visitors will be confident of securing their third straight win on the road. It’s going to be a tough encounter but we think both teams will settle for a halftime stalemate here for 2.04.

We also expect both teams to get a goal apiece here for 2.30.

A full-time stalemate might surface here for 3.20.

Good luck!
