Both contenders are in pretty good shape, Paradou AC holding a 8 point edge on US Biskra in the tables. Game on!

Insights:
  • US Biskra have scored at least twice as many goals as they have conceded at home.
  • Paradou AC have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.

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

Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.
