USM Alger is no longer fighting for a cause; they can neither go up or down this season. One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting USM Alger have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 4-6-5 (win-draw-loss) from 15 matches.
This looks to be an engaging fixture with lots of spark and energy as both contenders are well recovered since they last saw competitive action. Bring it on!
