MC Alger vs ES Setif Prediction: Home win is sacrosanct here

MC Alger will face off against ES Setif at the Dar El Beida Stadium on Friday. The visitors have had more than enough time to prepare for this fixture as their game against CAF-bound USM Alger was postponed. They’ll go against one of the most formidable opponents in the league, and they must be at their best to get anything from this game.

Last three games: WLW

After a remarkable opening game, Ben Aknoun, which saw them score four times, MC Alger fell to their first defeat of the season on the road. Even though they scored first against CS Constantine, the home side crawled back into the game, scoring in both halves to snatch the lead. More recently, they returned to winning ways, scoring twice against a tough MC El Bayadh. MC Alger have won their last four games at home, conceding zero while scoring eight times.

Patrice Beaumelle's men enjoyed a comfortable victory over their opponent but will test themselves against another proven side tomorrow.

Last three games: LW

Frank Dumas kicked off their campaign with a (1-0) defeat on the road. ES Setif were beyond poor in that encounter, allowing their opponent to get seven shots on target. The result was followed by a convincing (2-1) victory over MC E Bayadh at home. It was a sigh of relief for them as their new French coach will be poised to get a back-to-back win.

ES Setif have managed one victory on the road in their previous ten games; however, we expect a better performance from them this time.

Over their previous twenty meetings, MC Alger have won seven while ES Setif have won nine and four games ending in a tie. Having had some time to prepare for this encounter against MC Alger, the visitors will not appear at the Dar El Beida stadium as a victim of scapegoat. MC Alger are another team entirely when playing on their ground, and even though they play against a team willing to cause an upset, somehow, they’ll get the victory. We expect MC Alger to win here for 1.60.

Both sides might even settle for a halftime draw here for 1.98.

We expect the home side to win and score more than a goal for 2.01.

Good luck!
