CR Belouizdad vs US Souf Prediction: The hosts will likely shut out their opponent before the break

Following their setback against MC El Bayadh on the road, CR Belouizdad can’t afford to drop points when they lock horns against the winless US Souf at the Stade du 5 Juillet 1962 Stadium on Saturday.

CR Belouizdad (2nd)

Last five games: DDWWL

Marcos Paqueta's comrades succumbed to their first defeat in twelve games. CR Belouizdad didn’t bargain for the setback as the home side took their chances while the defending champions were indecisive in front of goal. 

The defending champions were below par in that encounter, and their aim of reducing MC Algers' lead at the top failed after the defeat. CR Belouizdad still maintain their spot on the log but are eight points off the top of the standings.

CR Belouizdad have won five, lost once, and shared the spoils once in their last seven games. 

US Souf (16th)

Last five games: LLLLL

It’s pretty glaring that Omar Belatoui and his men will play in Division Two next season, having gone thirteen games without a point. Just after their (3-2) loss against JS Kabylie, US Souf suffered a defeat against ES Ben Aknoun in the Algeria Cup. 

US Souf sit at the bottom of the log with thirteen games played, having garnered four points from a possible forty-five. US Souf have won once and lost six times away from home this season.
