ES Setif vs US Biskra Prediction: The home side can’t afford to lose here

The Algerian Ligue One resumes as ES Setif lock horns with US Biskra at the Stade 8 Mai 1945 Stadium on Friday. The host have been inconsistent at home this season but are yet to taste defeat against US Biskra in front of their own fans.

ES Setif (6th)

Last five games: WDLLD

ES Setif dropped to 6th following the stalemate against JS Souara at home. They have now gone four games without a win and might drop further on the log without a victory here. ES Setif are extremely at an advantage in the race for the top four and can benefit from not playing in the CAF competition.

We expect them to start scoring again, having gone three games without finding the back of the net.

ES Setif scored the third most goals this season (21), conceding sixteen in the past fifteen matches. ES Setif have won three, drawn three, and lost once in the previous seven home games.

US Biskra (9th)

Last five games: WWDLW

The visitors have been phenomenal in recent weeks, with three wins, a draw and a defeat in the last five matches. They picked up a point against champions on the road, won against a tough USM Alger, and only lost to MC Oran at home. These matches are supposed to end in a defeat; however, US Biskra have managed to secure ten points from a possible fifteen.

US Biskra have been rock solid at home but have managed just a win on the road this season.

Expert Betting Tips

Over the previous nine meetings, US Biskra have managed two wins while ES Setif have recorded five wins and two draws. ES Setif can’t afford to lose any more points at home, they have a good record against the visitors, and we expect them to secure all the points here for 1.60.

The visitors hardly score on the road; bet on BTTS no for 1.50.

Expect the home side to win and score more than once for 2.10.

Good luck!
