Paradou AC vs JS Saoura Prediction: The hosts can’t afford to drop points on their home turf

Following their five consecutive league games without a win, JS Saoura will be keen to take all the points when they face off against a well-organized Paradou AC team, Stade du 20 Août 1955, on Saturday. On the other end, the home team will be hoping to get back-to-back wins for the first time in the division this season. 

Paradou AC (12th)

Last five games: DDWDW

The hosts have improved massively in recent games, even though their performances have not translated to wins. More recently, they picked up their third win of the campaign against ES Setif on the road. Paradou AC became just the second team to have defeated ES Setif on their home turf this year. Paradou AC scored first and won at the break; the hosts turned it around when they scored in the 62nd minute. However, after several attempts to retake the lead, Paradou AC scored in the 71st minute to secure a (1-2) away victory. 

Radhi Jaidi's men, who had a poor start to the season, are on the verge of turning their season around, heading here with five games without defeat. 

Paradou AC are one of the best-run teams in the continent, as they rely on Academy players to remain relevant in the division. 

Paradou AC have won twice, drawn a game and lost twice at home this season. 

JS Saoura (13th)

Last five games: LDDDL

The visitors march here with a (3-0) loss on the road as they were outmuscled by CR Belouizdad. After three consecutive stalemates, failing to improve offensively and defensively, CR Belouizdad exposed their vulnerability as they conceded three unanswered goals. JS Saoura, who settled for a (1-1) share of the spoils at home before then, had also drawn against JS Kabylie and ES Mostaganem. 

The hosts have been inconsistent this season, failing to win any of their last five matches. JS Saoura have found the back of the net eleven times in league matches, picking up thirteen points from a combined thirty-six. JS Saoura's form has nosedived in recent games away from home, which can be attributed to their terrible defensive display; they have lost eight and drawn twice in their ten away games.

Expert Betting Tips

Paradou AC is one of my favourite teams in the league, and they play the best football in the division. They are a group of young and talented players who are capable of causing any side pains. They have not been getting the results they deserved lately, but hopefully, they will in the coming games.

Paradou AC win (1.75): The home side have been impressive in recent games, and going by the chances they created and the opponent they played against. They’ll definitely be at the top of their game against a side that has lost eight of their last ten away matches.

Both teams to score (1.97): Since both teams are pretty poor at the back, I’m confident a BTTS will surface here.

Paradou AC to win before the break (2.33): I’m backing the hosts to win at halftime because they’ll pressure their opponent from the start to the end.

Good luck!
