This promises to be an action-packed encounter for Al-Akhdar at First Statement Stadium when the CAF Confederations Cup tournament arrives in town and USM Alger with it. Read all about the Group Stage match here!
4-3-5 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for USM Alger when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those twelve matches are 14-10 (scored/conceded).
These teams have little in common geographically as USM Alger have to travel 2400 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
The visiting USM Alger played their last game only four days ago, a Algeria Cup match. That game was also an away game, at IRB Maghnia. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
