MC Oran vs CR Belouizdad Prediction: The visitors will maintain their decent run in the division

On Sunday, MC Oran will be keen to bounce back from their recent loss against JS Kabylie when they face off against CR Belouizdad at the Stade Ahmed Zabana Stadium. The visitors, who have won twice on the road over their last six games, can’t afford to drop points, as their Champions League spot might be in danger. 

Last four games: WDWDL

Youcef Bouzidi's men had a little setback in their quest to escape relegation this season. They surrendered to a (3-1) defeat against a struggling JS Kabylie as they left without any points away from home. MC Oran might be on their way to Division Two if they fail to rack up points with eight games remaining. MC Oran's last five games have ended in two draws, a defeat and two wins. They have really made a massive statement in recent games but still remain in the relegation zone. 

MC Oran's problem last season was their inability to get points on the road; in fact, they managed just a win in their eighteen games. They rely so much on their ability at home to survive relegation.

Last five games: DWWDW

Marcos Paqueta's comrades are unbeaten in all competitions over their last eight games. They head here with a deserved (4-0) victory over US Biskra at home and followed it up by knocking out USM Alger in the semifinals of the Algerian Cup. Despite being undefeated in eight games in all competitions, CR Belouizdad have not really lived up to their expectations. 

After failing to qualify his side for the CAF Champions League knockout round, Marcos Paqueta's job could be on the line if he fails to make the top two. CR Belouizdad moved to third place on the log, although they have played a game less than the two teams above them. CR Belouizdad have won four, lost two, and shared the spoils in four games over their last ten away games. 

MC Oran have won three while CR Belouizdad have recorded seven wins and ten games ending in a tie over their previous twenty meetings. MC Oran have managed one win in eight of their last nine games on their ground. The visitors head here with success in the semifinals of the Algerian Cup and have a final game on Friday. CR Belouizdad are undefeated over their eight games in all competitions. At the same time, MC Oran head here without their key striker and first-team goalkeeper. They’ll struggle against the defending champions even though this is an essential match for them, and they will fight to remain in the league. CR Belouzidad are expected to win or draw and score more than a goal for 1.93.

We expect to see more than two goals between both teams for 1.95.

This game might end in a halftime stalemate for 2.01.

Good luck!
