ES Setif vs ASO Chlef Prediction: The hosts will return to winning ways

ES Setif will lock horns against ASO Chlef at the 19 Mai Stadium on Sunday. Ammar Souayah will be in charge of his third game as ES Setif's coach, and he can’t afford to drop points on their ground. At the same time, the visitors will be poised to return to winning ways after their defeat on the road against the league leaders. 

ES Setif (3rd)

Last five games: WLWWL

The Black and White were totally outnumbered against a solid USM Alger on the road. ES Setif left spaces behind, and we were duly punished by the tricky display of Abdoulaye Kanou, who created an assist and scored against them. It was a disappointing result compared to their last two games, where they kept it clean and won back-to-back. 

Despite the defeat, ES Setif continue to improve as they maintained their spot in the standings. They have picked up thirty-three points from a combined sixty, scoring twenty-three and conceding twenty-one times. 

ES Setif have won seven, drawn twice, and lost once at home this season. 

ASO Chlef (12th)

Last five games: DWLWL

The Chalfawa have been inconsistent in the division this season despite the quality in their attacking department. They lost back-to-back against US Biskra and MC Alger in the Premier League and Algerian Cup. In both games, they conceded eight and scored five times. 

ASO Chlef have picked up twenty-three points from a combined sixty, scoring twenty-four and conceding twenty-nine. The visitors have been let down by their defense this season, conceding the second-most goals in the division. ASO Chlef have drawn three and seven times on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Both sides have won seven games each, while four matches ended in a share of the spoils over their previous eighteen meetings. ASO Chlef, who were three goals up against MC Alger, suffered their heaviest defeat in the division, conceding six goals for the first time since 2021. They will be without their main goalkeeper after his shambolic performance against MC Alger; moreover, Yawo Evra Agbagno, who is on international duty, is a notable absentee. On the other hand, ES Setif were tactically poor in their recent game against USM Alger on the road, and we think they’ll get it right against their opponent who are yet to win on the road this season. We expect the hosts to win for 1.71.

This game will end in a BTTS as the visitors are capable of finding the back of the net.

This game might end in a halftime victory for the hosts for 2.33.

Good luck!
