The visiting ES Sétif side should be favourites in this visit to JSM Skikda, as the away team holds a 28 point advantage from their 18 league games this season.
- JSM Skikda have the fewest points from losing position (0) in Ligue 1
- ES Sétif have the most scored goals (32) in Ligue 1
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the CAF Confederations Cup. That game, against Orlando Pirates, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for ES Sétif.
