RC Relizane form and stats
RC Relizane's struggle is real here at Stade Tahar Zoughari with only 6 points collected from 6 Ligue 1 games. The win-draw-lost numbers are ugly: 1-3-2.
The Relizane goalkeeper Hamza Bousseder is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 335 minutes without conceding a goal in the Ligue 1.
Happy days for RC Relizane in their previous game, a Ligue 1 match away at NC Magra (placed 17th) that ended with a 1-0 victory.
The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.

JSM Skikda, who have the the worst goal difference (-9) away in Ligue 1, only have 0 wins to counter their 5 defeats and 1 draw. It's looking increasingly bleak for Skikda who now has to deal with a four game losing streak. CS Constantine was the last time a defeat was avoided. Three might be a magic number, but there's been little wizardry in JSM Skikda's last three away games as they have all been lost.
JSM Skikda have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 472 minutes ago. A. Ziouache was the goal scorer.
