Khenchela vs Saoura Prediction: Both sides are coming off defeat

In this clash for round 25 of the Algerian Ligue 1, Khenchela will play host to Saoura at Hamam Ammar Stadium.

Khenchela's previous league games resulted in one victory against ES Sétif, three defeats to Alger, Constantine, and MC Alger, and one tie against Kabylie. Khenchela were able to score one goal and ended up allowing seven goals to be scored against them in those matches. During the current league season, Khenchela has scored a total of 0.92 goals on average per match. In terms of disciplinary actions, the home team has been issued 60 yellow cards and 2 red cards. This season, USM Khenchela has maintained an average possession of the ball of 54.90%, which indicates that they are good at maintaining the ball.

Saoura comes into this match having won one of their previous five matches against Magra, lost three against Arbaa, CR Belouizdad, and Constantine, and played to a draw against ASO Chlef. The club only managed to score three goals while giving up seven in those matches. When playing away from home, Saoura had a goal-scoring average of one per game while allowing an average of 0.87 goals per game. The visiting squad was shown a total of 59 yellow cards and 2 red cards for disciplinary reasons. The Saoura team have a very strong possession of the ball, as evidenced by their overall average of 51.07% throughout this season.

Khenchela and Saoura had never faced each other in competition before; the first leg of this contest was their sole meeting. In that contest, Saoura prevailed at home by a score of 1-0.

I anticipate a close contest between these two teams, with not much separating them according to the odds. As a result, it would not surprise me in the least if this matchup turned out to be similar to their first-leg clash. Give me Saoura to win away from home.
