RC Arbaâ form and stats

Seven points from three Ligue 1 home games is a great start for RC Arbaâ, who are hoping to build on that form here at Stade Smaïl-Makhlouf.

RC Arbaâ's previous game was also played at home, ending 2-0 versus US Biskra (placed 9th). The home side are looking to build on that result. At last, a league win after three fixtures without one.

A defeat was the result before that one, 0-1 away at JS Saoura.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how RC Arbaâ have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 8 games) they have won 5 times, drawn 2 and lost 1.

A decent goal production from Arbaâ in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. Defensively RC Arbaâ have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

El Bayadh form and stats

No Ligue 1 points yet away for El Bayadh, from their first 2 matches. El Bayadh seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

The attacking players of Bayadh have been feeble for some time now, the team not scoring a league goal in the last 193 minutes.

El Bayadh's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus JS Kabylie that finished 0-0.

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against US Biskra wasn't a success with a 0-1 loss.

Considering a bet on a low-scoring game? 5 league fixtures in a row with this club have had two goals or less.

It's early days yet, but El Bayadh has scored 0 and conceded 2 goals from their travels in the league so far (2 games).
