Paradou AC vs ASO Chlef Prediction: The visitors are expected to pull the first blood here

Paradou AC will square off with ASO Chlef in the opening game of the season at the Stade 20 Aout Stadium on Saturday. The visitors hope to pick up from where they stopped last season, while the home side will be keen to get off to a flying start.

Having picked up forty-two points in thirty games last season, the home side finished just five points behind the CAF Confederation Cup spot. They were so close to making history; however, their previous three games cost them the place.

They didn’t really perform so well at home last season, with six wins, six draws, and three losses. 

Paradou AC are one of the best-run teams in the continent, as they rely on Academy players to remain relevant in the division. They have acquired few players this season to blend with the young guns. 

The guests have been inconsistent in the division over the years; however, they were well above average last campaign. ASO Chlef wrapped up their season in 8th place following their poor start to the season. ASO Chlef picked up forty-one points from a combined ninety, scoring forty-one and conceding forty. The hosts were let down by their defense last season, conceding the second-most goals in the division. 

ASO Chlef have done well by retaining their highest goal scorer last season and adding some quality to their squad. 

In the previous thirteen meetings, Paradou AC have won five while ASO Chlef have managed four victories and four games ending in a tie. Paradou AC are a group of young sides blended with a few experienced players. They started well last campaign but had a terrible ending. They’ll be keen to win their first game against ASO Chlef in five meetings.

Considering the quality of players, ASO Chlef are way better than the hosts; however, the hosts will rely on their home advantage to get anything from this game. It’s an open encounter and we expect both teams to get a goal apiece for 2.07.

We expect to see more than two goals here for 2.46.

We think the guests will score before the break for 2.70.

Good luck!
