USM Khenchela vs ES Mostaganem Prediction: The home side are the closest to securing the maximum points

On Sunday, the Algerian Premier League continues as USM Khenchela face off against ES Mostaganem at the Stade Amar Hamam Stadium. The hosts will be keen to secure their first win of the season against the newly promoted ES Mostaganem. 

The hosts, who began their journey with a (1-1) stalemate against JS Saoura on the road, settled for another share of the spoils on their ground at home to CR Belouizdad. They were lucky to have come off with a point after a poor attacking performance against a solid opponent. 

USM Khenchela picked up thirty-nine points from a possible ninety and were three points above the relegation zone. After a tough season, USM Khenchela have signed more than ten players to bolster their squad this season. 

USM Khenchela have drawn three and won twice over their last five home games. 

The newly promoted team has had a great start to the season, with a win and stalemate since the promotion. 

ES Mostaganem team began their league journey with a (2-1) victory over MC Oran at home and settled for a tie on the road to CS Constantine. 

Mostaganem will continue their league journey after their success in Division Two last campaign. ES Mostaganem were the best side in League Two, leading with eleven points at the top of the log. ES Mostaganem scored sixty goals the previous season while conceding eleven goals. 

ES Mostaganem might not be familiar with division one sides but stands a better chance here, considering their recent form.

The hosts have struggled lately on their ground and are poised to return to winning ways following their back-to-back stalemate for the season. At the same time, the guests head here with a share of the spoils on the road against CS Constantine and are building momentum in just two starts to the campaign.

USM Khenchela have a tough hurdle to overcome against an ES Mostaganem team who would sit back and wait for their time to attack. The hosts' last two games have seen goalkeeper Oussama Litim pick up the man of the match award. This says much about their defensive performance and we think they might likely concede here; bet on BTTS for 2.29.

We also think the hosts will win or draw and get a BTTS for 2.89.

Both teams might settled for a halftime stalemate before the break for 1.89.

Good luck!
