MC Alger vs Olympique Akbou Prediction: Expect goals in this fixture

MC Alger and Olympique Akbou will square it off at Stade du 5 Juillet in this round six of the Algeria Ligue 1. Heading into this game, the two teams are coming off a strong number of performances. How will this game unfold? Below, I preview this game and make predictions.

MC Alger's last league encounter was against Khenchela, and they secured a win. Mohamed Halaimia's 35th-minute strike was the difference in that encounter, good enough to seal maximum points for his side. In the meantime, this team remain unbeaten this season with three wins and two draws. In their wins, this team defeated MC Oran and Kabylie while playing to a draw with Paradou AC and Constantine. Standing at the top of the standings, MC Alger have scored six goals and conceded three.

Olympique Akbou were held to a goalless draw with ASO Chlef the previous time out and will look to get a win this time. In the meantime, Olympique Akbou have won three of their first five matches of the season, defeating Magra, JS Saoura, and Paradou AC. However, their lone defeat this season was against Kabylie, an encounter that ended 2-1. With 10 points from a possible 15 this season, Olympique Akbou are seated third in the Algeria Ligue 1 standings. Scoring seven goals in that run, Olympique Akbou also conceded four. 

The two teams have pulled off strong results this season, and they have all it takes to win here. While their attacking front lines have been good, I expect more from them. This should be an offensive-minded game, and I expect more from them. At home, MC Alger come in as a favorite, and with experience in the league, I expect them to win.
