MC Alger vs JS Kabylie Prediction: We anticipate a low-scoring encounter here

MC Alger will face off against JS Kabylie at the Stade 5 Juillet on Saturday without their best player, Belaili, who is out on international duty. All face will be on the league leader, who have been in blistering form this season, as they hope to adjust their tactics without the league's top scorer.

The Mouloudians' record of scoring in all their games this season ended with a toothless draw against arch-rival USM Alger. The result also halted their eight consecutive wins as nothing could separate them against a robust USM Alger. 

MC Alger are running rampant in the league with nine undefeated runs, scoring twenty-nine goals in their previous eleven games. It seems rare in one of the most defensive leagues in the continent. Patrice Beaumelle's men settled for a share of the spoils against their opponent but will test themselves against a very delicate side tomorrow. The Doyens are flying high in the division without a defeat at home this season.

The Canary Islands three matches undefeated run came to an end as they suffered a defeat against CS Constantine. The most successful side in the division conceded twice without a response as they bowed to their fourth loss of the season.

JS Kabylie can’t wait to start winning again, and to do that; they’ll most definitely have to strengthen their squad. The Canaries have picked up fourteen points from their previous ten games, scoring eight while conceding eight. JS Kabylie have been poor away from home, losing four and winning twice. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, JS Kabylie have won thirteen while MC Alger have recorded seven wins and three games ending in a tie. JS Kabylie are one of the most successful teams in the division but have been poor this season. They have released two players and hope to let go of four more just to open more space for quality players. On the opposing end, MC Alger were below par for the first time this season as they settled for a toothless draw against USM Alger. JS Kabylie used to dominate this fixture; however, they have struggled in recent years. The hosts will be keen to bounce back after their disappointing outing, and we expect them to maintain their unbeaten run.

This game will end in a total of under 2.5 goals for 1.50.

We expect both teams to settle for a halftime draw for 1.96.

Good luck!
