ES Setif vs MC Alger Prediction: Both teams will be pleased with a point apiece

Ammar Souayah will be in charge of his first game as ES Setif coach when they face off against a dangerous MC Alger team at the 19 Mai Stadium on Saturday. ES Setif have performed below par in recent games but must get everything right to even secure a point against a formidable opponent. 

ES Setif (6th)

Last five games: DLWWL

The Black and White suffered another defeat on the road as they were outplayed by MC El Bayadh. ES Setif conceded three goals as they failed to maintain their momentum against the visitors. Before the game, they defeated USM Khenchela on their ground. 

ES Setif have won eight, drawn three, and lost six already this season as they maintain their spot on the log. ES Setif have won six, lost a game, and drawn twice on their ground this season, with twenty points from a possible twenty-seven, and we expect a better performance from them this time.

MC Alger (1st)

Last five games: DWWWD

The league leaders passed the MC El Bayadh test as they settled for a stalemate against a very delicate side. The result came after their (2-0) victory over CS Constantine on their ground as they converted two of their eight shots at goal. The Mouloudians are running rampant in the league with sixteen undefeated runs, scoring thirty-five goals and conceding nine. Patrice Beaumelle's men are flying high in the division; they have won four, lost once, and drawn three away from home this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Both sides have won eight games each, while four matches ended in a share of the spoils. The hosts will have three of their best players available for this game, as the new coach will likely want to start with a win here. It’s a complicated task for the hosts; however, they have the material to end the visitors' sixteen-game unbeaten run. At the same time, MC Alger have been more defensive lately as they failed to score against MC El Bayadh. Something is certain in this game: both sides will express themselves offensively. Their recent meeting produced eight goals, which we think will at least end in more than two goals for 2.45.

We expect both teams to get a goal apiece for 2.04.

The visitors won’t lose this game; bet on an away win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 2.06.

Good luck!
