RC Arbaa vs USM Alger Prediction: The visitors will play more cautiously as the visitors are capable of causing problems

With just a victory over their previous six games, RC Arbaa must prove they deserve a spot in Division One when they host USM Alger at the Stade Smail Makhlouf Stadium tomorrow.

Last five games: LWDLL

The home side have been inconsistent in the last six games, with a victory, a tie and four defeats. Both wins were at home; they’ve picked up four points from a possible twenty-seven on the road this season. RC Arbaa lost back-to-back against ASO Chlef and CS Constantine, conceding five goals without a response. After a (0-3) defeat against ASO Chlef, they surrendered to another (2-0) loss on the road against second-place CS Constantine. RC Arbaa are a point adrift of the relegation zone, and a defeat here would bring them closer to playing In league Two.

RC Arbaa have won eight, lost three and drawn once at home this season.

The CAF Confederation Cup winner, USM Alger, have been uninspiring in recent games. After their Derby victory against MC Alger, USM Alger were totally outclassed by JS Saoura's side. USM Alger played the whole halftime without a shot or whatsoever after the home side drew the first blood. They conceded a late penalty to crown their already humiliating performance. USM Alger are playing like nothing is at stake, and it will be difficult for them with just a spot available for the CAF Confederation Cup.

The defeat took the CAF Confederation Cup champions to the 4th spot on the log and could still make the CAF Champions League with five games to wrap up the season.

USM Alger have been terrible this season in the league, picking up thirty-nine points from a combined seventy-four. USM Alger have been terrible on the road this season, with two wins, two draws and eight defeats.

Over their last nine meetings, USM Alger have recorded seven victories while RC Arbaa have won twice. RC Arbaa can’t be predicted, and all their losses at home this season have come from a top team that knows how to use the ball. Not very convinced with USM Alger's performance on the road a few days ago, although they were missing some key players. We expect more from them this time; bet on the away side to strike first for 2.52.

We expect both sides to get a goal apiece here for 2.21.

We expect a tough approach from the visitors; bet on an away win for 3.27.

Good luck!
