Preview

Match preview

MB Rouisset welcome league leaders USM Alger to their home ground in round four of Ligue 1 action. The hosts currently occupy 12th position with three points from their opening three fixtures, having secured a 2-0 home victory against Olympique Akbou between away defeats to JS Kabylie and MC Alger.

USM Alger have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the domestic campaign, picking up seven points from a possible nine to sit top of the standings. Their recent outings include a 3-2 away win against Olympique Akbou and a 2-0 home victory over JS El Biar, continuing their positive momentum across the early weeks of the season.

While MB Rouisset managed a 1-0 victory in this exact fixture when the sides met in May 2026, USM Alger hold the superior overall form across the division. Given the visitors resilience on the road and MB Rouissets mixed start, the table leaders look well equipped to take something from this encounter.

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.
