Oran vs ASO Chlef Prediction: A draw will be enough for the two sides here

Oran and ASO Chlef are set to face each other in the round 16 Algeria Ligue 1 clash at Stade Ahmed Zabana. Let's analyze this match and formulate a prediction.

Oran is eager for a better outcome in this upcoming match, following their 2-0 loss in the Ligue 1 against CR Belouizdad. During that game, Oran couldn't maintain their position at half-time, allowing Youssef Laouafi's late-minute goal to put CR Belouizdad in the lead for the second half. Meanwhile, Ben Tahar Meziane's 75th-minute goal proved decisive in that encounter, leaving Oran with no chance. Oran has struggled in recent games in terms of offensive performance, scoring only 3 goals in their last 6 matches against opponents. Additionally, they have conceded a total of 12 goals in those games. Currently, Oran occupies the 11th position in the league standings, holding a five-point lead over the bottom-placed US Souf.

Following a loss to US Biskra in their recent Ligue 1 match, ASO Chlef is determined to bounce back in this upcoming fixture. US Biskra secured victory in the previous game with goals from Merouane Boussalem and Siam Cherif. The attacking prowess of ASO Chlef has struggled in their last 6 encounters, yielding a meager total of 3 goals. During this period, their opponents have scored a combined total of 8 goals. In the league standings, ASO Chlef currently holds the 13th position with 16 points from 15 matches. The team is eager to improve its standing with a positive outcome in the upcoming match.

I believe ASO Chlef has the capability to penetrate the Oran defense, even though it might pose a challenge for the away team. Meanwhile, Oran has been facing considerable difficulties and is in dire need of a victory to enhance their chances of avoiding relegation. Consequently, my prediction is that both teams will score in this match, ultimately resulting in a draw.
