USM Khenchela vs USM Alger Prediction: Both teams can’t afford to drop points here, but the visitors will likely win here

Following their bitter defeat against Paradou AC, USM Alger will play to win when they face off against USM Khenchela at the Stade Amar Hamam Stadium. Both teams match here with a disappointing result in their recent matches, and both sides will be poised to secure the maximum points here. 

USM Khenchela (9th)

Last four games: WWDLL

Nabil Neghiz's men have now lost back-to-back games after their four games unbeaten run. They bowed to defeat against Paradou AC and ES Setif with a correct score (2-1). USM Khenchela bowed to defeat on the road as Oussama Safa Kaddour was shown a red card before the break. 

USM Khenchela won five games on their ground this season and will be determined to maintain such a run here. USM Khenchela have picked up twenty-three points from a combined forty-eight, scoring sixteen and conceding nineteen times. 

USM Alger (6th)

Last five games: WWWLL

The Usmists lost for the second consecutive game as fans booed their player at the end of their recent game. Their recent defeat was their heaviest defeat recorded since 2010. A team as big as USM Alger should not lose to that extent. They conceded five goals against a very youthful Paradou AC on their ground and were able to respond. 

USM Alger, who were confident of securing their ninth victory in the league, succumbed to a more organized side. 

The defeat was a hard pill to swallow for the Usmists fans, who trooped out in numbers to witness the bashing. 

USM Alger dropped three places down the log but could return to the third spot with a victory over their opponent. 

The visitors have picked up twenty-six points from a possible forty-eight, scoring twenty-two while conceding eighteen. USM Alger have won three, lost four, and drawn once at home away from home. 

Expert Betting Tips

USM Alger have won their last four games against USM Khenchela. Their recent meeting ended in a comfortable (3-0) victory over USM Khenchela on their ground. The hosts have now been outplayed in their last two games and must derive a formula to secure the maximum points against a side who are also looking to turn their fortunes around. 

USM Alger can’t afford to lose three consecutive matches but have a stern test ahead of their clash against the home team. The hosts have sold two of their key players during the winter, and the new players need time to adapt. I think the visitors will win or draw and score more than once here.

Both sides are expected to get a goal apiece for 2.30.

We expect this game to produce more than two goals for 2.71.

Good luck!
