MC Alger vs JS Saoura Prediction: The hosts can’t afford to slow down here

On Wednesday, MC Alger will lock horns against JS Saoura at the Stade 5 Juliet 1962 Stadium. The home side have been pretty poor at home this campaign, winning once in six games, but they stand a better chance against their opponents, who have also been terrible away from home. 

MC Alger (2nd)

Last five games: LDDWW

The Mouloudians pulled off a decent win over their arch-rival on the road as they scored three times to cart away all the points. MC Alger, who had been inconsistent this campaign, were at the top of their game, as they defended well and capitalised on their opponent's defensive lapses. This was after their comeback victory over NC Magra on the road. 

The Mouloudians are one of the best teams in the division this season, heading here with two defeats in twenty-seven games. MC Alger scored thirteen goals and conceded seven as they are a point behind at the top of the log. Khaled Ben Yahia’s men have been pretty decent in front of goal lately and have scored five in two matches. 

MC Alger have won once, drawn four and lost a game over their last seven home games.

JS Saoura (13th)

Last five games: DDLLW

The guests lack consistency but head here with a (2-0) victory over a struggling CS Constantine team. JS Saoura scored a goal apiece in both halves to assume thirteenth place on the standings. 

JS Saoura's form has nosedived in recent games, which can be attributed to their terrible defensive display; they have only kept a clean sheet once in their last nine games. The visitors are just four points from the relegation zone and are not in contention for a top-four finish again this season. 

JS Saoura have lost six and drawn once on the road this campaign. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous ten meetings, JS Saoura have won twice while MC Alger have recorded six victories and two games ending in a share of the spoils. The Mouloudians were fantastic in their recent game, even though they were more defensive. They took advantage of a possession-based USM Alger, who were erratic at the back. They’ll face off against a JS Saoura side who have managed just a point from a combined twenty-seven points on the road.

MC Alger are expected to exert dominance over their guests, but knowing how football works these days, we’d play safe here. They looked exhausted in their recent Derby game, and two days after that, a highly competitive game could cause complacency. I think a win and under 3.5 goals might surface here for 1.70 at (1xbet).

I also think this game could probably produce less than two goals, as the hosts rarely score for 1.75 at (Bet365).

I expect to see more goals after the break for 2.20 at (Betway).

Good luck!
