National cups are something special for many teams and supporters. Today's match will decide whether it's SKAF Khémis Mélina or JS Kabylie that keep their silverware dream alive.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
SKAF Khémis Mélina form and stats
A nice win for SKAF Khémis Mélina last time playing, versus WA Boufarik. That was also a home game and the match ended 3-0. Khémis decided the match against WA Boufarik in the first half, and held firmly on to their lead (3-0) without using too much effort. The team showed great control while saving some energy.
A 2-2 draw away in the Ligue 2 before that, with RC Relizane the opponent.JS Kabylie form and stats
There's been little loot from JS Kabylie's travels as they have only collected 5 points from 7 away games in the Ligue 1. JS Kabylie only have 1 win to counter their 4 defeats and 2 draws.
JS Kabylie lost away at NC Magra (1-2) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick.
That result followed a home victory 4-0 versus RC Arbaâ in the Ligue 1.The visitors will be packing their bags again in only three days as another away game awaits: The Ligue 1 trip to MC Oran.
The attacking power of Kabylie when travelling is not overwhelming with 4 goals scored from 7 league matches away. It's not easy to score on JS Kabylie as they have only conceded 6 goals from these away games.
