USM Alger vs ASO Chlef Prediction: We expect a positive response from the hosts after their recent woes

Having gone two matches without a win, USM Alger can’t afford to drop points when they lock horns against ASO Chlef as they eye the CAF Champions League spot on the log. The pressure is on the home team, who are desperate and in need of the maximum points to end their recent woes against a high-flying opponent.

Uninspiring and unlucky, USM Alger are suffering from low self-confidence, marching here with back-to-back defeats in the league. The Usmists failed in their attempt to close the gap at the top of the podium, bowing to a (1-0) loss against MC Oran on the road. The manner of their defeat has been the talking point lately, as the team look dejected.

The home side have picked up thirty-nine points from a possible seventy-two, scoring thirty while conceding twenty-four.

The Chalfawa comrades have been in excellent shape lately, heading here with three wins in their last four matches. ASO Chlef took advantage of USM Khenchela's terrible defense as they found the back of the net four times while conceding once. They have now scored nine goals over their previous three matches while conceding five times.

After successfully escaping the relegation spot for now, ASO Chlef will aim for a top-four finish. 

ASO Chlef have picked up thirty-four points from a combined seventy-eight, scoring thirty-six and conceding thirty-six. Their defence has let The hosts down this season, conceding the second-most goals in the division. ASO Chlef have won two, lost seven, and drawn four on the road this season. 

USM Alger have won six, while ASO Chlef have recorded eight victories and five matches ending in a share of the spoils over their previous nineteen meetings. USM Alger are not in the right state of mind as they head here without a win in their last two games. To make things worse, USM Alger Spanish coach Juan Carlos Garrido will lead his side from the stands following his red card against MC Oran. At this delicate time when teams are racking up points to achieve their aims, USM Alger have been giving away points. On the opposing end, ASO Chlef seems to be back on track following their recent run of four games without a defeat. They are well-positioned to secure the continental championship ticket, and we are confident they’ll fight with their last breath here. 

It’s pretty unsafe to bet against a home team in this league, but we think the visitors will get a goal or two before the break for 3.10.

We also expect to see more than a goal before the break for 3.25.

Both teams are expected to get a goal apiece for 2.10.

Good luck!
