JS Saoura vs USM Alger Prediction: The guests can pull a surprise stunt here

With three games to wrap up the season, USM Alger will be poised to play continental football next season and must win here to stand a chance when they face off against JS Saoura at the Stade du 20 Aout 1995 Stadium on Friday. 

JS Saoura (8th)

Last five games: LWLWL

The hosts have been inconsistent lately, heading here with another defeat away from home. JS Saoura's loss against USM Khenchela was a painful one as both teams played to secure the maximum points. They have shown positive signs in recent weeks and are now presented with an opportunity to bounce back as they square off against USM Alger. JS Saoura will be determined to build on their recent performance at home to win forthcoming matches as they hope to climb up in the standings. JS Saoura's form has nosedived in recent games, which can be attributed to their terrible defensive display; they have only kept a clean sheet twice in their last fifteen games in the league. JS Saoura have won seven, drawn four, and lost twice at home this season. 

USM Alger (4th)

Last five games: LLWLD

The Usmists put up a good performance against CS Constantine, securing a point away from home against a tough opponent. The result didn’t help the Reds, as they had chosen the wrong time to slip up. USM Alger might not play continental football next season if they fail to secure the maximum points here. 

USM Alger maintained their spot on the log and could not attain fourth place even with a victory over their opponent. The guests have picked up forty-three points from a possible eighty-one, scoring thirty-three while conceding twenty-eight. USM Alger have won four, lost seven games, and drawn twice on the road this season.
