MC Alger vs ES Setif Prediction: Home win is sacrosanct here

MC Alger will face off against ES Setif at the Dar El Beida Stadium on Friday.

They’ll go against one of the most formidable opponents in the league, and they must be at their best to get anything from this game.

MC Alger

Last three games: WLW

After a remarkable opening game, Ben Aknoun, which saw them score four times, MC Alger fell to their first defeat of the season on the road. Even though they scored first against CS Constantine, the home side crawled back into the game, scoring in both halves to snatch the lead. More recently, they returned to winning ways, scoring twice against a tough MC El Bayadh. MC Alger have won their last four games at home, conceding zero while scoring eight times.

Patrice Beaumelle's men enjoyed a comfortable victory over their opponent but will test themselves against another proven side tomorrow.

ES Setif

Last three games: LW

Frank Dumas kicked off their campaign with a (1-0) defeat on the road. ES Setif were beyond poor in that encounter, allowing their opponent to get seven shots on target.

ES Setif have managed one victory on the road in their previous ten games; however, we expect a better performance from them this time.
