Expert Betting Tips
The reverse leg was a total dominance from USM Alger, who scored six times against Orapa United. The guests' job isn’t done yet in this competition, as eight points don’t guarantee a place in the knockout stage. They must secure all the points here and win on their ground in the final game to advance.
Orapa United have a slight chance of securing the second place in the group but lack the pedigree to pull a stunt against the guests. I think the guests will secure all the points and score more than a goal for 1.70.
We expect the guests to keep a clean sheet here since they have a decent defensive record in the competition.
USM Alger might win before the break for 1.89.
Good luck!
