JS Kabylie vs USM Alger Prediction: The Algerian El Classico won’t deny us goals

The stage is set for one of the Algerian El Classicos as JS Kabylie face off against USM Alger at the Hocine Ait Ahmed Stadium on Saturday. The guests who’ll be without two key players will find another option to go toe to toe against the most successful team in the league tomorrow. 

Last five games: WLLWW

The Canary Islanders are back on their feet after a little setback as they head here with back-to-back wins over USM Khenchela and US Biskra. JS Kabylie secured their second win on the road as Babacar Sarr scored the only goal that won them the maximum points. JS Kabylie have lost three over their previous nine league games as Benchika men got their tactics right against their recent opponent. 

JS Kabylie are one of the teams tipped to challenge for the title after strengthening their squad in the transfer window; however, things have not been going in the right direction for them lately. The Canaries have picked up six points from their last twelve home games, and they’ll be keen to flip the script here. 

Last five games: WWDWD

The Usmists have had a decent run in the league so far and have now gone six games without a defeat. More recently, they settled for a stalemate against ASO Chlef on the road. The toothless share of the spoils was their third in six league starts. 

Nabil Maaloul's men are undefeated over their previous seven matches in all competitions, as they sit in third place. USM Alger have been pretty solid on the road, winning once and starring the spoils twice. 

USM Alger have won ten and shared the spoils six times, while JS Kabylie have won four over their previous twenty meetings. Coach Benchika will face off against his former side tomorrow, and he’ll be keen to prove a point. USM Alger have been pretty decent on the road but not against a more potent opponent, and we believe this is their first real test away from home this campaign. 

JS Kabylie have a fully fit squad for this fixture, while the guests are missing two key players. The hosts are the most favored, but to be on the safe end, bet on a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 2.03.

We anticipate a halftime stalemate here for 1.84.

JS Kabylie must pull a surprise stunt against the guests here; bet on a home win for 2.25.

Good luck!
