Magra vs El Bayadh Prediction: Visiting Bayadh will take a point at full time

Magra and El Bayadh will square it off at Magra Municipal Stadium in round 20 of the Algeria Ligue 1. El Bayadh won the last meeting of this fixture. Can Magra take advantage of their turf? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions.

Magra

Magra played US Biskra in their last league game and lost. In a 1-0 contest, 5th-minute Rayane Adaika's strike was enough to decide the outcome of the game. In the meantime, Magra's recent matches have ended with disappointing results, going winless in their last five. In that run, this team lost to USM Alger twice while drawing Olympique Akbou and ES Setif. In the meantime, their home performances have been a bit better, losing just once in their last ten, coming against MC Alger. In other games, Magra picked up four wins and drew five. This season, Magra have accumulated 17 points from 19 matches, leaving them seated at the bottom of the standings.

El Bayadh

El Bayadh are coming off a cup contest against Olympique Akbou and qualified for the next round. In that encounter, El Bayadh settled for a goalless draw for 90 minutes and could not find the back of the net until the penalties, which they won 6-5. In the meantime, El Bayadh's last league game against CR Belouizdad ended in a goalless draw. Meanwhile, the visiting team has not lost any of their last eight matches. In that run, this team picked up wins over Nasr El Fedjoudj, Touggourt, Constantine, USM Alger, and ES Setif. Heading into this contest, El Bayadh have accumulated 25 points from 19 matches, scoring 16 goals while conceding 17 as they sit in 10th place.

Expert Betting Tips

Magra does not look ready to compete, and despite being at home, I still do not see them winning. On the other hand, El Bayadh have been playing well lately, pulling off a run of unbeaten performances that should boost their momentum. This should be a tight game, as the two teams will have to give in their best to take a positive result. Yet, I do not see El Bayadh losing here, while we expect goals from these two sides.
