📏 Form Guide

Oran

LWDWWL

Oran won’t want a repeat of their last result here following the 2-0 Ligue Professionnelle 1 defeat in their last game at the hands of Belouizdad.

It’s not been often in recent games where Oran have kept a clean sheet. It will be a concern for them that Oran have been scored against in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 9 goals during that time.

USM Alger

WLLDLW

USM Alger will go into this meeting following a 1-0 Ligue Professionnelle 1 win in the defeat of Sétif in their previous outing.

The only name on the scoresheet from USM Alger was Houssam Ghacha (85').

Looking at their form, and USM Alger have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing their opponents hit 7 goals overall. In defence, USM Alger certainly have room for improvement. We will have to find out if that trend can be sustained here.

↔️ Head to head

A glance at their past head to head clashes stretching back to 17/04/2022 shows us that Oran have won 3 of these & USM Alger 2, with the number of draws being 1.

A combined sum of 10 goals were yielded between them in these games, with 4 from Hamraoua and 6 netted by Ouled El Bahdja. The average number of goals per game works out to 1.67.

ℹ️ Team News: Oran

Yacine Aliane (Broken toe) and Kelyan Guessoum (Knee injury) won’t be able to feature for Oran .

🗞️ Team News: USM Alger

USM Alger has to choose a team with limited availability. Haithem Loucif (Adductor pain) and Ghiles Guenaoui (Cruciate ligament tear) can’t be considered.

💭 Prediction

We’re inclined to think that USM Alger will have to play well to find the net against this Oran side who we think will score at least once to gain the upper hand.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a very even contest with a 1-0 victory for Oran when the referee blows for full-time.

Let’s see how it plays out.
