The Black and White bounced back from their recent woes as they came from a goal down to defeat a solid CS Constantine side. ES Setif, who have suffered a series of setbacks of late, turned their fortunes around as Aimen Lahmri and Abdelmoumen’s goals canceled the visitors the early lead. 

ES Setif have won seven, drawn twice, and lost five already this season as they moved to sixth place on the log. ES Setif have won five, lost a game, and drawn twice on their ground this season, with seventeen points from a possible twenty-four, and we expect a better performance from them this time.

Expert Betting Tips

USM Khenchela have won their previous three meetings against ES Setif. The hosts will be keen to break the jinx, having gone three games without a breakthrough against the visitors. ES Setif have recouped nicely in the winter but have struggled in recent games. They march here with a (1-2) victory against an average side in the Algerian Cup. At the same time, USM Khenchela will be without two of their key players, Maxwell Baku and Coulibaly. These players have been consistent for the visitors since their promotion and will be greatly missed. 

We expect the home side to take advantage of their opponent, who’ll likely have some new faces in their lineup; bet on a home win for 1.55.

We expect this game to produce more than two goals for 2.445.

ES Setif might even get a halftime victory here for 2.18.

Good luck!
