US Biskra vs USM Alger Prediction: We anticipate a decent display from the visiting side

With the aim of surviving relegation, US Biskra will leave no stone unturned when they lock horns against USM Alger at the Stade 18 Fevrier Stadium on Friday. In an attempt to end their ten games without a win in the competition, US Biskra must do everything perfectly in front of their home supporters. 

US Biskra (16th)

Last five games: LDLDL

The hosts have been one of the worst sides in the division this season, marching here without a win in ten games. More recently, they lost by just a goal margin against a tough Paradou AC team on the road. DESPITE scoring first, US Biskra conceded twice to surrender to their seventh loss of the campaign. This was after their (0-0) stalemate against ES Setif on their home turf. 

US Biskra have managed two wins in their last fifteen league games, as they sit comfortably at the bottom of the log. US Biskra have picked up twelve points from a combined forty-five, scoring nine and conceding fourteen. The hosts are the worst home team this season, losing three of their last seven matches on their ground. 

USM Alger (3rd)

Last five games: WLDDW

The Usmists moved to third place on the log following their easy win over USM Khenchela. USM Alger scored three times against their guests while exerting dominance over them. This was after their share of the spoils against Olympique Akbou on the road. 

The guests will play without a coach after Nabil Maaloul resigned due to the disharmony between him and the fans. Unfortunately, USM Alger have managed six wins in fifteen matches, as they are four points below the league leaders. 

USM Alger have won once, lost a game, and drawn five on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous ten meetings, USM Alger won six while US Biskra won three and a game ending in a tie. US Biskra have been inconsistent this season but head here with six new signings to assist them in surviving relegation this campaign. The hosts, who were knocked out by ES Mostaganem in the Algerian Cup, will be focused on avoiding relegation in the league. They’ll face off against a new look USM Alger under their new coach, Marcos Paqueta. The Brazilian who won the Algerian Cup and the League with CR Belouizdad will be keen to replicate such a feat. 

US Biskra won’t sit back in this game, as I expect an open encounter with goals at both ends. Just a few hours before this fixture, USM Alger sold their highest goal scorer, Ismail Belkacemi, to Ahly Libya Tripoli. It’s going to affect them on the long run if not in this game; however, we still expect a solid display from them considering the quality of their squad; bet on an away win or draw and under 2.5 goals for 1.70 at (Betway).

I expect to see both teams settle for a share of the spoils at the break for 1.77 at (Bet365).

I also think USM Alger might just stun US Biskra on their ground, even though it’s extremely risky; bet on an away win for 2.30 at (1xbet).

Good luck!
