JS Kabylie vs USM Alger Prediction: The Canaries can’t afford to drop points here

JS Kabylie will lock horns with USM Alger at the Stade du 1er Novembre 1954 Stadium on Saturday. The Usmist will strive for the maximum points while the home team will be desperate to bounce back from their recent toothless draw against Paradou AC.

The Canaries began their season with a slim (0-1) victory away from home. Salim Boukhenchouche scored the only goal that won his side the maximum points as he took his tally to three goals in three matches. Since then, JS Kabylie have drawn once and lost a game. More recently, they bowed to another defeat on the road as they were overwhelmed by USM Khenchela.

JS Kabylie fans are pretty unhappy with their team's performance, and with the new coach, we expect them to perform better here.

The Canaries have signed quality players as against quantity but are yet to click since the season began.

After their success in the CAF Confederation Cup, USM Alger will fully focus on returning to the competition next season as they play their second league game. USM Alger began their journey with a (1-0) defeat against Paradou AC. The Usmists have been struggling in front of goal this season, and we can say it was their frontmen who denied them at least a point on the road.

Despite winning the CAF Confederation Cup last season, USM Alger almost got relegated as they went six games without a victory. USM Alger have tweaked their team, and we expect a better performance from them tomorrow.

Over their previous twenty meetings, USM Alger have won ten while JS Kabylie have recorded four wins and six games ending in a tie. JS Kabylie can’t afford to lose here, having gone two games without a victory. On the other hand, USM Alger will be desperate to at least pick a point here after losing their opening game. A defeat for the home side will halt their dream this season, and we believe they’ll be the stronger side here; bet on a halftime draw here 1.92.

The best result the visitors could get is to share the spoils; we can’t see them pulling a surprise stunt; bet on home win 1.78.

We expect to see less than two goals here for 1.50.

Good luck!
