There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

CR Belouizdad form and stats
CR Belouizdad have collected seven points from their first three Ligue 1 games here, a promising start.
Before that, Belouizdad drew at home versus MC Oran.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Belouizdad, as the Ligue 1 home game vs ES Sétif is only three days away.
Goals decide football matches and CR Belouizdad are scoring many of them at home; 6 on target from 3 league matches. 3 goals have been conceded.
USM Bel Abbès form and stats
The visitors are W1-D1-L2 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 1.
Preceding that game was the away victory against US Biskra with the score of 1-0.
Abbès were so close to getting something from the game against Tlemcen, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal five minutes into overtime.
A new game in only three days for Abbès, the Ligue 1 home match versus USM Alger. Busy days.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Abbès as they have only managed to score 3 times from 4 away games in the league. USM Bel Abbès's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 7 goals from these trips.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: four wins for Belouizdad, three draws and three wins for USM Bel Abbès. Over 2,5 goals: zero times; under 2,5 goals: ten games.Top Goalscorers
