US Biskra vs ES Setif Prediction: Both teams will be pleased with a point apiece here

On Friday, US Biskra will be determined to bounce back from their recent defeat when they lock horns against a well-motivated ES Setif side at the Stade 18 Fevrier. The visitors are unbeaten over their previous six meetings against US Biskra and will be confident they can get all the points here. 

Last five games: DWLWL

The home side have been underperforming lately, marching here with a defeat against CR Belouizdad on the road. They conceded four goals and couldn’t respond against a well-drilled CR Belouizdad. The result came after their slim (1-0) victory over struggling JS Kabylie. They were also knocked out of the Algerian Cup by USM Alger, meaning they have now conceded seven and scored once in their last two games. US Biskra have picked up thirty-one points from their previous sixty-nine. The hosts have won six, drawn three, and lost twice over their last eleven home games.

After three games without a breakthrough, the Black and White triumphed over JS Saoura on their ground. They conceded first with eleven minutes on the pitch; however, Tarek Aggoun and Youcef Aouissi's goals saved ES Setif from their blushes. ES Setif have had a difficult outing recently, but we hope the win against JS Saoura will strengthen their confidence. 

Things have not been going in the right direction for Ammar Souayah's men, and only a victory can further change their fortunes around here. After the win, ES Setif moved to 4th place on the log and are now six points below third place. They have picked up thirty-seven points from a combined sixty-nine, scoring twenty-seven and conceding twenty-eight times. ES Setif have won three, drawn once, and lost seven away from home this season. 

Over their previous eleven meetings, ES Setif have won six while US Biskra have recorded two wins and three games ending in a stalemate. ES Setif have won three and drawn three over their last six meetings. The hosts have played two games on the road without a win, and it’s obvious they’ll do everything in their power to win this encounter. However, ES Setif's record against the hosts can’t be overlooked. Both teams have not had a terrible run lately, and we think a point apiece will please them. We will settle for a BTTS here since both teams have played a BTTS in four of their last four meetings.

We also expect this game to produce more than two goals for 2.48.

I have a feeling the visitors will get a win either half here for 2.67.

Good luck!
