Paradou AC vs MC Alger Prediction: Another slim victory for the visitors

Paradou AC will face off against the best team in the division this season, MC Alger, at the Stade Dar El Beida Stadium on Thursday. The visitors have scored twenty-five times this season; however, they’ll test themselves against the best defense in the league tomorrow.

Nadhir Leknaoui's men have struggled in recent games as they head here with another defeat in the league. After a solid defensive performance from Paradou AC against MC El Bayadh, they bowed to pressure in the 91st minute, conceding a penalty which the hosts converted. The result came after their share of the spoils on their ground against a resilient CS Constantine. Paradou AC are currently one of the most in-form sides in the division, and we expect them to take the game to their opponent. Paradou AC have lost twice, winning four and settling for two draws over their previous eight games this season.

The Mouloudians are running rampant in the league with seven wins and a defeat since the start of the season—MC Alger head here with an emphatic victory over NC Magra at home. Before the game, NC Magara had only lost by two goals since April in the league; however, they conceded four against MC Alger. MC Alger have now scored four goals in each of their last three games. MC Alger have scored twenty-five goals in their previous eight games, which seems very strange in one of the most defensive leagues in the continent. Patrice Beaumelle's men enjoyed a comfortable victory over their opponent but will test themselves against the most formidable defense tomorrow.

Over their previous eleven meetings, MC Alger have won six while Paradou have won once and four games ending in a draw. MC Alger have been decent this season, as they have scored four more than they scored in the entire last campaign in just eight games. On the other hand, Paradou have conceded twice this season: one against CRB Belouizdad and a late penalty in their recent match. The visitors will be keen to maintain their fine form, and we don’t think the hosts will be able to stop them. We expect both teams to get a goal apiece for 2.18.

MC Alger have only lost once against the hosts, and we don’t think they’ll lose here; bet on an away win for 1.66.

Both sides might likely settle for a halftime tie here for 2.05.

Good luck!
