USM Alger vs MC Oran Prediction: The Usmists will keep a clean sheet here

USM Alger will face off against MC Oran at the 5 Julliet Stadium on Thursday. Home teams have dominated this fixture over the years, and I assume this won't be different tomorrow.

USM Alger (8th)

Last five games: DDWLD 

Juggling both the continental championship and the domestic league have affected the Usmists' output, who have now won just once in five league matches. They recently picked up an impressive point on the road against ES Setif. USM Alger were on the verge of securing all the points on the road, but their opponent's goal in the 99th minute denied them the golden opportunity to close the gap at the top. 

USM Alger are yet to lose a game at home this season, sharing the spoils once and winning three times. Things have not been going well for them in front of goal, marching here with four goals in nine matches. 

MC Oran (2nd)

Last five matches: LDLWL

Eric Chelle's men are in bad shape presently, and things have not been working well for them. MC Oran lost on the road against MC El Bayadh, conceding once. They were once again terrible on the road and have now lost five of their last away games. 

MC Oran, who created loads of chances, couldn’t break the deadlock, and I think they deserved the defeat. 

The Mouloudians fans are unhappy again after their struggle in recent games, and they’ll be hopeful the coach Eric Chelle finds a new approach to their games until the transfer window opens. 

Eric Chelle's men have lost five of their last six away games this campaign. 

Interesting Facts

Over their previous twenty meetings, USM Alger have won six while MC Oran have recorded five wins and nine games ending in a stalemate. 

Since 2013, no home side have lost this fixture, and we are confident USM Alger will secure all the points here. 

Expert betting tip

USM Alger are struggling presently and have not lived up to expectations lately. For a quality side like USM Alger, their last result against ES Setif was a terrible one. They can’t afford to drop points against a struggling MC Oran, who have found it difficult to convert their chances lately. I’ll back the hosts to win and score less than three goals since the guests lack confidence in front of goal, and USM Alger match rarely produces more than three goals.

I also think USM Alger will get a goal before the break as MC Oran's morale is at the lowest presently.

A correct score of (2-0) might surface here for 4.80.

Good luck!
