USM Alger
Last four games: LLWW
Following their terrible start to the season, the Usmists won their second game of the season against the best team in the division. They scored twice to overturn the visitors' lead at home. The result was after USM Alger scored three unanswered goals against USM Khenchela, as Brahim Benzaza, Bogdan Bozian, and Mohamed Ait were all on the scoresheet. Juan Carlos's men are back on their feet again after their poor start to the campaign.
The guests have picked up six points from a possible twelve, scoring five while conceding three. USM Alger have not been able to win on the road this season, and it’ll be hard against a stiff ES Setif.
Expert Betting Tips
Over their previous twenty meetings, both teams have won eight times and four games, ending in a share of the spoils. The hosts head here following their commanding performance against CR Belouizdad, while ES Setif dominated ten JS Kabylie to secure maximum points.
The visitors come into this game with reduced manpower as they’ll be without their main goalkeeper, Oussama Benbot, and influential midfielder, Tumisang Orebonye. Regardless, USM Alger still have a rich staff that should allow Coach Garrido to alleviate these defects. Indeed, the Sufi goalkeeper should replace Benbot, while the Malian Kanouté or Embarek are ready to replace Tumisang.
This is another tough game for both teams, and we think the home side will be stronger here. This fixture has produced less than two goals in five of their last six games, but we think it’ll be different this time, as both teams will come out and express themselves.
ES Setif have no injury concern for this encounter, and we think they’ll come off with a point at least here; bet on a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals for 1.74.
This encounter should be able to produce a BTTS for 2.03.
A win for the home team is possible for 1.94.
Good luck!
