JS Soualem vs Mouloudia Oujda Prediction: The hosts can’t afford to drop points against a relegation-threatened opponent

JS Soualem will hope to maintain their momentum when they square off against Mouloudia Oujda at the El Bachir Stadium on Friday. The hosts march here without a defeat over their last two games, while the visitors come off a back-to-back stalemate. 

JS Soualem (13th)

Last five games: LWLDW

With two victories over their previous five games, JS Soualem are now three points above the relegation spot. The hosts fought with their last breath to come off with the maximum points against a highly respected home team. HS Soulem took their chances when they scored in the 37th minute, but a red card from Ayoub shortly made it more difficult for them. Having found the back of the net, they defended the lead with all they had and were victorious at the end of the game. The result was similar to their recent game at home, where they were reduced to ten men but scored while the visitors responded to split points on their ground. 

JS Soulem have been slightly above average this season, as they sit in the 13th spot, having picked up twenty-six points from a possible seventy-eight. JS Soualem have lost four, drawn four, and won five on their ground this season.

Mouloudia Oujda (15th)

Last five games: LLLDD

After three consecutive defeats in the league, Mouloudia Oujda head here with a back-to-back share of the spoils. They scored twice against Hassania Agadir on the road while the hosts responded twice to split points, but their recent home game was a toothless stalemate against Mohammedia. The visitors are back struggling to survive, having gone ten games without a win. Mouloudia Oujda are in the danger zone, having picked up twenty-three points from a combined seventy-eight.

Mouloudia Oujda have won once, drawn four, and lost eight games on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams have won twice and drawn a game over their last five meetings. Only once has a home side won over their previous meetings. JS Soulem have been pretty solid lately and could have done better if they had avoided the red cards in their last two games in the league. They have played with ten men over their previous two games but will be boosted with the return of Mouad Bahsain, who received a red card against Zemamra. 

Almost all JS Soualem points this season have been won on their ground, and they can’t afford to fumble, especially against a fellow relegation-threatened team. However, it’s worth mentioning that the hosts have played a BTTS in seven consecutive matches on their ground, and we want to trust both sides to get a goal apiece here for 1.91.

We also expect both teams to settle for a halftime stalemate for 1.95.

This encounter won’t deprive us of goals; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.25.

Good luck!
