USM Khenchela vs ES Setif Prediction: The home side are the favorite

On Wednesday, USM Khenchela will square off with ES Setif at the Stade Hamam Ammar Stadium. The home side have not been bad in recent games and head here as the favorite.

Last five games: WWDLD

The home team head here with two wins, two draws and a defeat over their last five games. Nabil Neghiz's men have lost their previous three games in all competitions as they suffered a blow in their attempt to win the Algerian FA Cup. More recently, they were held at home by struggling JS Kabylie as nothing separated them at full time. USM Khenchela are a strong side that might play in the CAF Confederation Cup next season with three points behind the fourth and third spot. USM Khenchela have won six, drawn three and lost twice at home this season.

Last five games: WWLWL

Chiheb Ellili's men are eyeing a return to the CAF competition after failing to qualify last season. ES Setif have only improved their home record but have struggled on the road. More recently, they were beaten by the champions by a lone goal. They were wasteful and deserved at least a point from that encounter. ES Setif have picked up nine points from a possible fifteen in their most recent games and are fourth on the log.

ES Setif won three, drew two, and lost six away from home this season.

USM Khenchela are the only side to have beaten ES Setif at home this season, and we have a feeling that the visitors will come for a revenge here. ES Setif head here without a win on the road over the last five; it’s a bad run of games, and that has to change. We have a slight feeling they’ll get a goal here; bet on away over 0.5 goals 1.80.

We expect both sides to get a goal apiece here for 2.20.

The home side are the favorite; bet on a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 2.30.

Good luck!
