The Usmists were stunned on their ground by CS Constantine on matchday 15. USM Alger, who were confident of securing their seventh consecutive victory in the league, conceded twice after the break and were able to respond once. The defeat was a hard pill to swallow for the Usmists fans, who trooped out in numbers to witness the bashing. 

USM Alger dropped three places down the log but could move back to the third spot with a victory over their opponent.

Corentin Martins’ men have turned their fortunes around with a six-game unbeaten run in all competitions. Paradou AC stunned USM Khenchela away from home before defeating IRB Ouargla in the Algerian Cup. 

Paradou AC have now won three consecutive games, a run that has been applauded by their fans. Paradou AC remains one of the teams that play the best football in the country. 

Paradou AC are the best team on the road, with four wins, two draws and a defeat. They have picked up twenty-six points from a combined forty-five, scoring sixteen and conceding six. 

Over their previous fourteen meetings, USM Alger have won seven, while Paradou AC have recorded five wins and two games ending in a tie. The Usmists can’t lose back-to-back on their ground, and after their defeat against CS Constantine in front of their home supporters, they’ll likely secure the maximum points here. On the other hand, Paradou AC play the best football in the division and have the best defence in the division. USM Alger must be at their best to penetrate their opponent's defence, but it’s very likely they won’t lose this time; bet on a home win for 1.71.

We expect both sides to settle for a halftime draw here for 1.91.

This game will produce less than two goals for 1.45.

Good luck!
