Having gone five games without a win, USM Alger returned to winning ways as they beat a strong CS Constantine side (2-1) at home. However, the home side could not maintain the momentum as they suffered another defeat on the road. An early goal from US Biskra Merouane Boussalem early goal was enough for the home side to obtain all the points. The loss means USM Alger have now lost four games away from home in the last seven matches.

They have a new coach who is expected to change their current situation and secure them a top-four finish.

USM Alger have won four and drawn three at home in the last seven games.

They are 11th on the log with twenty points from a possible forty-two. Their last four defeats have come against ES Setif, CS Constantine, JS Saoura and JS Kabylie.

USM Alger have won six, while RC Arbaa have recorded two wins over the last eight meetings.

It’s a bit of a risk here as the home side will kick off their CAF campaign next week; bet on a home win for 1.44.

USM Alger will strive to win here to boost their confidence before the CAF competition; bet on a home win and over 1.5 goals for 2.01.

The home side might get a halftime win here for 2.00.

Good luck!
