Olympique Akbou vs MC Oran Prediction: Oran will take a point in this game

Maghrebi Unity Stadium will be the venue for round 9 of the Algeria Ligue 1 encounter between Olympique Akbou and MC Oran. Heading into this game, the two teams will meet for the second time in their history. How will things end here? Below, I provide match previews and betting opportunities. 

Olympique Akbou

Olympique Akbou's last encounter was against Constantine, and they lost. In that encounter, the two-second half for Constantine by Tosin Omoyele and Brahim Dib were enough to deny Olympique Akbou a point despite Abdelhak Askar’s strike 90 minutes before. However, Olympique Akbou have failed to win any of their last four league matches. In that run, Olympique Akbou lost to Mostaganem and drew MC Alger and ASO Chlef. 

MC Oran

MC Oran played ES Setif the previous time out and secured a 1-0 win. In that encounter, Juba Aguieb’s strike was the difference, securing maximum points for MC Oran. However, MC Oran have an unbeaten run of matches heading into this fixture. In that run, MC Oran defeated Kabylie and Constantine while they drew Paradou AC. Heading into this fixture, MC Oran have 14 points accumulated from their first eight league games of the season, positioning them in the second spot. 

Expert Betting Tips

MC Oran have been dominant in recent matches, and I can not write them off despite being the underdog. While Olympique Akbou have failed to win any of their last matches, I do not see them having a chance here. Take MC to take a point while both teams find the back of the net.
