The home fans are expecting three points in this fixture, as the home advantage should be put to good use versus a struggling visitor. USM Alger are in the 9th position while the guesting NC Magra worry at 16th.
- USM Alger has the most scored goals in the second half (12) in Ligue 1
- NC Magra have yet to win a game away.
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.
