USM Khenchela vs CR Belouizdad Prediction: The visitors will feature some young players; expect the host to strike first

USM Khenchela need a point to guarantee their stay in the league and must fight for it when they host CR Belouizdad at the Stade Amar Hamam Stadium tomorrow.

Last five games: LDLWL

The home team head here with a win, one draw, and three defeats over their last five games. Nabil Neghiz's men have struggled to get points in recent games and head here following the (2-1) defeat against NC Magra on the road. Even though they need a point to guarantee a stay in the division, USM Khenchela have been below par.

USM Khenchela were competing for the CAF Confederation Cup spot at the beginning of the season but are now far below the third spot. USM Khenchela have won eight, drawn four, and lost twice at home this season.

Last five games: DWWDW

Nabil Kouki's men continued their excellent form even after winning the league, beating arch-rivals USM Alger (3-1) at home. After the visitors struck first seconds into the game, CR Belouizdad responded with three goals as they secured their seventh victory of the season. CR Belouizdad are fourteen points ahead at the top of the log after playing their two outstanding games. CR Belouizdad have won three times and shared the spoils twice in their last five games. They have scored the most goals (41) and conceded the fewest goals (15).

CR Belouizdad have won seven, drawn six, and lost once away from home this season.

Their only meeting ended in a (2-1) victory for CR Belouizdad at home. USM Khenchela need just a point in their next two games to secure a stay in the league, while CR Belouizdad will feature some youth players here, having secured the league. USM Khenchela can’t risk it here, but we don’t think they will be able to get all the points against any Belouzidad squad; bet on BTTS for 1.87.

We expect both sides to settle for a halftime draw here for 1.89.

USM Khenchela is to strike first here for 2.20.

Good luck!
