Football Predictions
The Algeria Ligue 1 season is in its closing stages with USM Alger set to host their close-town rivals MC Alger on Friday.
With five games to go, CR Belouizdad is still topping the charts eight points clear ahead of second-placed Constantine. USM currently occupies the 5th position in the table with 36 points but they have played 2 games less than the rest of the league. They are not in the best form as they have won only once in the previous 4 matches.
MC Alger is in a position above their Friday hosts with 39 points. They however lost their last game against Kabylie and thus ended their streak of seven games without defeat. Their main goal is to reach the third position in the table and secure a place in the CAF Confederation Cup next season, but it won’t be easy as it is something USM think they can achieve too and this is the chance to kill their opponents’ dreams.
H2H/Stats

24/2/20: USM Alger 0-1 MC Alger
12/10/19: MC Alger 3-0 USM Alger
14/3/19: MC Alger 3-2 USM Alger
Probable Line Ups
USM Alger XI: Benbout, Loucif, Alilet, Belaid, Radouani, Merili, Bousellioi, Merbah, Chita, Orebonye, Mahious
MC Alger: Litim, Abdelaoui, Ferhani, Halaimia, Ghezala, Hamidi, Benabdi, Hamoudi, Touki, Debih, Tahar
Verdict
MC Alger has the second most ineffective attack in the league (17 goals scored) with USM having the third-best defense in the league (17 goals conceded). In the last 3 matches between these teams, a total of 4 goals were scored so fewer goals should be expected in the tie.
