USM Alger vs US Biskra Prediction: The home team will not disappoint

Stade Nelson Mandela will host the Algeria Ligue 1 encounter between USM Alger and US Biskra. The last meeting between these sides ended in a win for the home side. Can US Biskra, coming off a win, turn the tables in this fixture?

USM Alger started their season with a goalless draw with Magra and will look to win this time. However, in their prior encounter to this game, USM Alger secured a 2-0 win over Stade Tunisien in the CAF Confederation Cup in the second leg encounter, having lost 1-0 in the first leg. Heading into this game, USM Alger have three wins, one defeat and one draw in their last five matches.  

US Biskra will come into this game following a win in their opening game of the season against El Bayadh. In that encounter, Abdeljalil Saad's lone strike was the difference, giving US Biskra maximum points. However, US Biskra have now won two of their recent matches, one other against MC Alger. In the meantime, US Biskra lost the remaining three, coming against Constantine, El Bayadh, and ASO Chlef. 

USM Alger will not disappoint in this game, looking at how well they have performed in this fixture in the past. While US Biskra have also started their season with good form, they could prove to be stubborn. Yet, I believe the home team is ahead, and they should win with goals.
