JS Saoura form and stats
JS Saoura, who have the most points (25) at home in Ligue 1, have been outstanding at home so far in the Ligue 1 with 8 wins, 1 draw and only 0 losses. Saoura has won so many consecutive home games (eight in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Stade du 20 Août 1955. We remember; it was USM Alger.

A decent goal production from Saoura in their home games so far, with 16 goals from 9 league matches. Saoura have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 3 goals. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 0 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Olympique Médéa form and stats
4 wins, 1 draw and 4 losses. That’s the product of Olympique Médéa playing as the away team in the Ligue 1 this season. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in Olympique's last three away games as they have all been lost.
Z. Kemoukh (2) and M. Baâli scored in Olympique's previous match, the home game against CA Bordj Bou Arreridj that ended 2-1. It was a defeat before that one as the away game against RC Relizane wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.
Olympique have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 9 league away games 12 goals have been scored. 11 goals have been conceded by Olympique in these games.
