ASO Chlef vs CS Constantine Prediction: We are backing the hosts to come off with all the points, but both teams will get on the scoresheet

On Friday, ASO Chlef will lock horns with CS Constantine in their first home game of the season at the Stade Mohamed Boumezrag Stadium. Since 2014, no home side have lost this fixture, and we think ASO Chlef will be desperate to bounce back following their opening-day defeat against Paradou AC on the road. 

ASO Chlef

The hosts began their journey with a (2-0) defeat against Paradou AC away from home. They failed to take advantage of their opponent, who were reduced to ten men. 

ASO Chlef have been inconsistent in the division over the years; however, they were well above average last campaign. ASO Chlef wrapped up their season in 8th place following their poor start to the season. ASO Chlef picked up forty-one points from a combined ninety, scoring forty-one and conceding forty. The hosts were let down by their defense last season, conceding the second-most goals in the division. 

ASO Chlef have done well by retaining their highest goal scorer last season and adding some quality to their squad. 

CS Constantine

The Smurfs head here after finishing behind CR Belouizdad in the Algerian Ligue One last season. Even though they finished in third spot last campaign, CS Constantine had a horrible ending, winning twice in seven games. In the previous campaign, the Green and Black side failed to impress in the CAF Champions League, losing both legs against Etoile du Sahel. However, they’ve done well in the continental championship this season, with four consecutive victories. 

CS Constantine are more of an attacking side, with forty-six goals scored last season, and they will be confident of doing well this campaign. 

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams have won six games apiece and five games ending in a stalemate over their previous seventeen meetings. ASO Chlef looked lost in their opening game against a youthful Paradou AC team, and even with a red card to their opponent, they failed to find the back of the net. At the same time, CS Constantine have started this campaign in great shape, winning their last four continental games.

ASO Chlef's last seven games on their ground have produced a BTTS, and with CS Constantine attacking threats, we expect a goal apiece here.

The hosts won’t lose this encounter, especially after losing their opening game on the road; bet on a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 1.75.

This game will produce more than two goals for 2.13.

Good luck!
