USM Alger vs ASEC Mimosas Prediction: The hosts will maintain their decent run on their ground

On Sunday, USM Alger will face off against Ivory Coast-based ASEC Mimosas at the 5 July Stadium. Both teams have won the same number of points in the group, and the hosts will take advantage to maintain their lead at the top of the log. 

USM Alger (Algeria)

The Usmists returned home with a point after a toothless stalemate against ASC Jaraaf in Senegal. USM Alger focused more on their defensive side of the game and got what they wanted, keeping a cleansheet against such a strong side. Before then, they put six goals past Orapa United in front of their home supporters. 

USM Alger presently occupy the top place of the standings, picking up four points from a possible six. 

USM Alger have lost two games in all competitions this season and have kept eleven clean sheets in ten games. 

The 2023 champions are one of the favorites to triumph in this competition, and we can see them getting to the final this season. 

ASEC Mimosas (Ivory Coast)

The Yellow and Black settled for a share of the spoils against Orapa United as they were ineffective in front of goal. ASEC Mimosas dominated their opponent from start to end, firing fourteen shots without a goal. This was after their (2-0) victory over ASC Jaraaf on their home turf. 

The home side have been dominating the Ivorian league for a long time but fell behind last season, wrapping up their campaign in fourth spot. Despite their success in the division, ASEC Mimosas have not made their mark in the CAF competitions in recent years. 

The Yellow and Black were knocked out of the CAF Champions League quarter-finals by Esperance ST last season. 

ASEC Mimosas have let go some of their star players and have struggled in recent games, but we expect a decent display from them tomorrow. 

Expert Betting Tips

USM Alger have won once and drawn a game over their last two meetings against ASEC Mimosas. USM Alger are very effective when they play on their ground, and after watching them destroy Orapa United in their opening game of the group, we expect them to exert dominance over a strong ASEC Mimosas side tomorrow. 

The home team has their way of getting things done in this competition, and with their run last season, we expect them to be stronger here. USM Alger have massive home support, and despite being the champions in 2023, we expect them to win and score more than a goal here for 1.81.

The guests stand no chance; bet on home correct score of (3-0) for 8.40.

We anticipate more than two goals here for 2.28.

Good luck!
