Straining MC Oran are keen to pull off an upset when they play top team MC Alger in the next league fixture. It’s 12th vs 5th and the home regulars will have modest expectations.
- MC Oran have the fewest conceded goals (0) at home in Ligue 1
- MC Alger have the most clean sheets (4) away in Ligue 1
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting MC 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 4-5-6 (win-draw-loss) from 15 matches.
It’s a hectic schedule for the away team, as they were in action only four days ago in the Ligue 1. That game, against CR Belouizdad, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for MC Alger.
