US Biskra are ready to challenge NC Magra in this Ligue 1 match. All you must learn about the match is right here!

Insights:
  • US Biskra have not yet lost a game at home.
  • NC Magra have yet to win a game away.

One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting NC Magra 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 2-3-6 (win-draw-loss) from eleven matches.

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.

NC Magra form and stats

The Ligue 1 season is young and NC Magra have only just started going through their travel schedule, with 2 away games done and still no victory. 1 draw and 1 defeat so far.

NC Magra go into this game after a win, the home game against JS Saoura that ended 1-0. Those three points felt sweet as this team had gone four league rounds without victory.

Prior to that match, the Magra manager Douar faced defeat when travelling to MC Alger and losing 1-2.

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.

As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, NC Magra has managed 1 goal and let in 2 from 2 matches.
