Expert Betting Tips

JS Saoura have won nine while USM Alger have recorded six wins and five games ending in a tie over their previous twenty meetings. USM Alger have actually not been able to replicate their home form on the road this season. They play against a JS Saoura side that hardly concede at home. It’s going to be a tough game for USM Alger; however, we expect them to get a goal, at least after their display in their recent game for 1.80.

The home side are always the favourite in this league, and we expect JS Saoura to win either half for 1.67.

We expect more than two goals here because the visitors will definitely get a goal.

Good luck!
