Competition: Fri 02.September
Match begins: 19:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stade Ahmed Zabana

It's only the second game in the Ligue 1 for these squads. And it's all to play for here at Stade Ahmed Zabana as MC Oran greet NC Magra. Check out this preview!

2 - 2 - 6 with 8-13. What does this mean? Well, these are the statistics for NC Magra when playing on grass like they will do today. Wins - draws- losses and goals scored-conceded. NC Magra play their home games on artifical turf so that's why we provide these numbers.

There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.

MC Oran form and stats

In the previous season, MC Oran's league stats were 10 wins, 16 draws and 8 losses, ending with 11th position in the Ligue 1. In these 34 matches they scored 32 goals and let in 29. Playing as the host team in the former season MC Oran delivered 7-8-2 (win-draw-lost) with 23 goals and 15 conceded.

The followers are hoping that Oran will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-3 away loss in the match against RC Arbaa (placed 3rd).

A 0-0 draw away before that, with MC Alger the opponent.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from MC Oran's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 7 games, won 3 matches, drawn 3 and lost 1.

There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for MC Oran as they are travelling to their away game against CR Belouizdad in the Ligue 1. That match is three days after this one.

NC Magra form and stats

Let's have a look at how NC Magra performed last season in the Ligue 1: They landed a 13th position in the league table after playing out 13 victories, 6 draws and 15 defeats. In total they scored 31 and conceded 36 goals in these matches. The numbers for away games only are: Won 4 - drew 2 and lost 11 with 13/26 goals scored/conceded.

This fixture can not go any worse than the previous one, the home loss versus Paradou AC with 1-2 on the scoreboard. That loss was their first after five consecutive league games winning points. Late heartbreak for NC Magra in the Paradou AC match, as the deciding 1-2 goal came deep into overtime.

Before that, Magra secured a home win against RC Relizane with the score 4-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and NC Magra playing away, we found 5 games. Results were 1 away win, 2 draws and 2 home wins.

Head 2 Head

MC Oran-NC Magra H2H statistics last six meetings regardless of arena: MC Oran three wins, NC Magra one win, two draws. two of these six matches had three or more goals (over 2,5).
