Olympique Akbou vs El Bayadh Prediction: Bayadh will struggle once again

In the Algeria Ligue 1 at Maghrebi Unity Stadium, Olympique Akbou will play El Bayadh. I will look into the full match analysis while offering the best betting possibilities. 

Olympique Akbou

Olympique Akbou took on US Biskra the previous time out and secured a crucial road win. In a game that ended 0-1, Mohamed Yasser Chelfaoui's strike in the 53rd minute proved to be the difference of the day. However, that win was Olympique Akbou’s second win in recent encounters, having defeated MC Oran in a prior league encounter, ending in a commanding 3-1 win. 

In the meantime, Olympique Akbou have lost to Mostaganem, Constantine, ES Setif, and Khenchela in recent games. In fact, Olympique Akbou's last twelve matches of the season have seen them score 13 goals while conceding 11 themselves. 

In their last home matches, Olympique Akbou have two wins, two defeats and one draw. In that run, this team scored six goals while conceding four. In home matches this season, Olympique Akbou have ten points, positioning them 10th in the standings. 

El Bayadh

Week in and week out, El Bayadh keep showing they are not ready to compete to avoid relegation, and I keep finding it hard to trust them. This season, this team has failed to take their chances, and despite maintaining the points close with Mostaganem's side, which is out of the relegation spot, the fact they struggle to show consistency has been a major trouble. 

This team had only one win in their last matches, coming against an MC Oran side, which ended 1-0. However, other encounters saw them lose to ASO Chlef, JS Saoura, MC Alger, and JS Kabylie. In the meantime, Olympique Akbou secured a point against Mostaganem and Paradou in that run. 

Heading into this game, El Bayadh have faced defeat in nine of their last ten games, the lone win against CR Belouizdad. In those games, Olympique Akbou scored four goals. 

Expert Betting Tips

This is a tricky game, looking at the two teams' current positions and the betting odds. While El Bayadh are struggling, it is important to give credit to how decent their defence have been. However, on their best days, Olympique Akbou's level of play offensively are always at the top level. While also considering how their lone meeting ended, I feel we are up for a game where both teams will have a chance to show their full attacking strength. Therefore, at home, I expect Olympique Akbou to score twice, and while El Bayadh will not give in easily, a bet on both teams' scoring is worth considering.
