The home side suffered another defeat on the road when they lost to Paradou AC for the first time in their history. The game ended in a (1-0) victory for the home side and was one of their biggest losses in a long time. They have been shy in front of goals over their previous nine games.

The visitors bounced back from their stalemate when they scored three times against ES Setif. Despite being a man down, MC Oran defeated struggling ES Setif to move six points above the relegation zone. They have been fantastic over their last three games, with two shares of the spoils and a win. MC Oran are six points above the relegation, picking up thirty-eight points from a combined eighty-one. MC Oran have won once, lost nine, and drawn three away from home this season.

Over their last twenty meetings, MC Alger have won eight while MC Oran recorded four victories and eight games ending in a share of the spoils. However, MC Oran have not lost against the home side in their last six meetings and are yet to concede a goal over their previous three encounters.

This game is dicey and can only end in favor of the home side, who are yet to win any of their last four games. MC Alger have declined massively in recent matches; this is their second to last game at home. MC Oran have not been able to replicate their home form on the road and have failed to score in their last three away games. MC Alger are yet to taste defeat at home, and this is their best chance to bounce back; we are trusting them with a victory here for 1.60.

We expect a low-scoring game here; bet on both halves under 1.5 goals for 1.69.

We expect the home side to win and score less than two goals for 2.20.

Good luck!
