USM Alger vs ASO Chlef Prediction: The host will be at an advantage in the bid to play continental football

With two games to the end of the season, USM Alger must win when they host ASO Chlef at the Stade du 5 Juliet 1962 Stadium on Monday. Both sides are determined to get a victory as the home side fight for the CAF Confederation Cup spot, and the visitors hope to remain in the Division.

USM Alger (7th)

Last five games: WLLDL

The CAF Confederation Cup winner, USM Alger, have been uninspiring in recent games. Since their Derby victory against MC Alger, USM Alger have struggled to win games. They have gone four games without a victory and lost their most recent match away from home. USM Alger once again showed they don’t deserve to return to the tournament they won after losing (3-1) against CR Belouizdad on the road. USM Alger got the first goal but lost the lead when the champions responded three times. With two games left, it's almost impossible for them to reclaim the spot.

USM Alger played like nothing was at stake, and it will be difficult for them to secure the CAF Confederation Cup spot as five other teams in the race.

USM Alger have been terrible this season in the league, picking up forty points from a combined eighty-four. USM Alger have won and drawn five at home this season.

ASO Chlef (12th)

Last five games: WLLLW

The visiting side moved three points ahead on the log following their (3-2) victory over CS Constantine. After scoring two goals before the break, ASO Chlef almost shared the spoils after the break when the visitors struck twice. Mohamed Souibaah scored a brace, and a goal from Ahmed Mohamed gave them a much-deserved victory.

ASO Chlef have declined massively since their victory over champions CR Belouizdad in the Algerian Cup. ASO Chlef might not relegate this season due to the quality of their squad, and we expect them to take the bull by the horn here. ASO Chlef have drawn the joint second most games this season (9). ASO Chlef have drawn five, won once and lost eight times away from home this season.
