JSM Skikda form and stats
With {2 Ligue 1 wins}, 1 draw and 4 defeats from their home games, JSM Skikda, who have the fewest scored goals (3) at home in Ligue 1, are certainly not brimming with confidence.

Game days at Stade du 20 Août 1955 have recently become somewhat of a nightmare for Skikda as they have lost three home games in a row. It hurts.
Skikda lost their last game at USM Alger (placed 9th) after a 1-4 scoreline. Heartbreak before that as Skikda lost 2-3 at NC Magra's place.
