MC Alger vs Ben Aknoun Prediction: Home team to take advantage of the newly promoted side

At the Dar El Beida Stadium, one of the first games of the Algerian Ligue 1 season will feature MC Alger going up against Ben Aknoun. Ben Aknoun ended the previous season atop the Ligue 2 standings, so they will be hoping for a stronger start here. On the other hand, MC Alger will be confident in their ability to take advantage of the newly promoted club.

MC Alger - home team are favored to win

As the odds-on favorite to emerge victorious from this contest, MC Alger will be looking to represent themselves with character and poise. The home club was unlucky not to qualify for the CAF competition the year before because they could only finish in third place in the league standings. They were three points behind their nearest competitor, Constantine, and they were 17 points behind the team that finished first, CR Belouizdad. MC Alger's record in their previous five matches was two wins, two ties, and one loss, and they will head into this new season with that record. During that time period, MC Alger was responsible for both scoring and allowing three goals.

Ben Aknoun - newly promoted side hoping to make a statement

The away team, Ben Aknoun, did quite well in Ligue 2 the year before, and now that they are playing in Algeria's top division, there is no question that they have their sights set on winning the Algerian Ligue 1 championship. In the previous campaign of the Algerian Ligue 2, Ben Aknoun amassed 69 points from a total of 30 matches, ultimately finishing 4 points ahead of their closest competitor, Mostaganem. Despite this, they have won their previous three matches in a row and are now on an eleven-match unbeaten run. The away side has now scored a total of eight goals in their last five matches, while the home team has only allowed three goals.

Expert Betting Tips

In spite of the fact that MC Alger are favorites to win this clash, taking on a team like Ben Aknoun that performed well to win Algeria Ligue 1 the previous season will not be an easy one for them to defeat. In the meantime, despite the fact that I anticipate both sides to come here with a great deal of drive and a high quality of play, so, I believe that betting on goals and both teams finding the back of the net is the best potential option here. Also, despite the fact that MC Alger will want to make the most of their home field, a wager on the home club coming out on top here is something that should be taken into consideration.
