US Biskra vs USM Alger Prediction: This game could go both ways, but a total of under 2.5 goals is more realistic here

US Biskra will be keen to build on their recent away victory to secure the maximum points when they host USM Alger at the Stade 18 Fevrier Stadium on Saturday.

Following their back-to-back defeats against Paradou AC and NC Magra, US Biskra bounced back with a convincing victory over a strong USM Khenchela side. After absorbing the opponent’s attacking torments, US Biskra waited till the last minute of the game to cart away the maximum points.

US Biskra have lost once and won a game at home this season as they moved to the 13th spot on the log.

The Usmists couldn’t maintain their momentum as they fell to their third defeat of the season. ES Setif, who wanted the game more than USM Alger, scored twice while the visitors benefited from an own goals to secure the maximum point.

Before the game, the Usmists won their second game of the season against the best team in the division. The guests have picked up six points from a possible fifteen, scoring six while conceding five. USM Alger have not been able to win on the road this season, and it’ll be hard against a stiff US Biskra team.

Over their previous nine meetings, US Biskra have won three while USM Alger have won five and a game ending in a stalemate. The Usmists head here without two of their main players: goalkeeper Oussama Benbot and influential midfielder Tumisang Orebonye, who are out on international duties. Their replacements were literally below par as they lost on the road to ES Setif. On the other hand, US Biskra were extremely focused on returning to winning ways, and they did it in style, winning on the road against USM Khenchela.

US Biskra always struggle against USM Khenchela, and we think this game will end in a total of under 2.5 goals for 1.55.

We think US Biskra will be stronger here, and we are backing them with a win either half for 1.72.

We expect both teams to settle for a halftime draw for 1.89.

Good luck!
