Ligue 1 (Algeria)

JS Saoura have maintained a solid home record in this specific fixture, having won both previous head-to-head home encounters against Olympique Akbou by 3-2 and 2-1 scorelines. While Saoura have had a slow start with one point from two away matches, Olympique Akbou have been inconsistent with two defeats in three games and five goals conceded overall. Backing the home side to avoid defeat covers both a Saoura rebound and a low-scoring stalemate.

USM Alger enter this fixture top of the table and undefeated through three league matches with two wins and a draw. MB Rouisset have lost two of their three matches this term, failing to score in both away fixtures. While Rouisset did win their single home fixture 2-0, USM Algers defensive record of two goals conceded in three games suggests they have the stability required to avoid defeat on the road.
