MC Oran vs MC Alger Prediction: Can the league leaders extend their dominance?

A crucial game at Miloud Hadefi Stadium will see MC Oran take on MC Alger in round 19 of the Algeria Ligue 1 contest. The visiting team won the last meeting of this fixture. Which team wins this one? I will preview this game and offer predictions. 

MC Oran

MC Oran struggled once again in the league, this time against ASO Chlef away from home. In a 1-0 contest, a last-minute Yawo Agbagno strike from the spot was enough to seal maximum points for their opponent. In the meantime, this team has faced a number of struggling performances, winning just one of their last five matches, coming against Mostaganem in a 1-0 encounter. In other contests, this team lost to JS Saoura, Harrach and CR Belouizdad. This season, MC Oran have 21 points from 18 matches, thanks to their early start to the season, leaving them just four points ahead of relegation-placed sides. 

MC Alger

MC Alger played Constantine in their last league game and they secured a win. In a 2-1 contest, this team needed to come from behind to secure maximum points, thanks to goals from Kirpe Zunon and Mohamed Bangoura. In the meantime, a look at this team’s recent matches shows they have lost only once, coming against CR Belouizdad, a 1-0 defeat away from home. In other contests, this team defeated Paradou AC, JS Kabylie, and CR Belouizdad. This season, MC Alger have 37 points from their first 18 league games, leaving them top of the standings with 23 goals scored and 12 conceded.

Expert Betting Tips

MC Alger have been brilliant this season and it is just difficult for them to be bet against. Yet, at home, MC Oran cannot be written off, but the fact they have been unable to show character with a number of poor performances makes them unreliable. This will not be an easy task for either side, however, but I trust MC Alger, motivated by winning the league, to get things right.
