USM Alger vs Supersport United Prediction: The hosts will maintain their decent run on their ground

USM Alger will strive to retain their spot on the log when they lock horns against Supersport United at the 5 July Stadium on Sunday. The visitors are mathematically out of the race to advance to the knockout stage after sharing the spoils on their ground against Future FC; however, USM Alger will be keen to win the group. 

USM Alger (Algeria)

Last five games: WWWLD

After three consecutive wins at the beginning of this campaign, USM Alger have failed to win their previous two games. USM Alger bowed to a (2-1) defeat against Al Hilal in Algeria, as they have now gone three games without a win in all competitions. 

The defending champions sit comfortably at the top of the log, having picked up ten points from a combined fifteen. They need just a point to maintain their spot on the log, but we think they’ll secure the maximum points here. 

Supersport United (South Africa)

Last five games: LLLWD

The Spartans failed to maintain their momentum as they settled for a (1-1) stalemate on their ground. Mathematically, the South African side will not make it to the knockout round. 

Supersport United occupy the last spot on the log, having won four points from a combined fifteen. They have also scored four and conceded seven goals in just five games. 

Expert Betting Tips

USM Alger have a way of getting things done in this competition, and with their run last season, we expect them to be stronger here. On the other hand, Supersport United will play for pride here as they’ve squandered their opportunity to advance to the next round when they shared the spoils on their ground. USM Alger have a massive home support, and despite being the defending champions, we expect them to win and score more than once here for 2.21.

The visitors might get a goal here; bet on BTTS for 2.23.

USM Alger will get a halftime victory for 2.26.

Good luck!
