After three games we know a little more about the qualities of USM Alger and Olympique Médéa in this fresh Ligue 1 season. Read our match preview!
- Olympique Médéa has the the worst goal difference (-4) in Ligue 1
Olympique Médéa could be less fresh than the hosts in this fixture, as they played a Ligue 1 game only four sleeps ago. That game, against MC Alger, was also an away game. It's a tiring schedule for Olympique Médéa.
This pitch has artifical turf, which is not Olympique Médéa's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on artifical turf Olympique Médéa have performed like this: Played 25 matches resulting in 6 wins, 8 draws and 11 defeats with the goal stats 15-34 (scored/conceded).
USM Alger form and stats
USM Alger's first Ligue 1 home game here at Stade Omar Hamadi ended in defeat. Last season their home statistics were 8 wins, 1 draw and 2 defeats from 11 matches.
Alger manager M. Zeghdoud and his team return home after a 0-0 draw away versus Tlemcen (placed 16th) in the Ligue 1. Preceding that game was the away draw at JS Saoura that finished 2-2.
Early season league goal statistics from USM Alger's 1 home game: 0 goals, 2 conceded.
Olympique Médéa form and stats
Olympique Médéa have played one away game so far, a loss. Last season their away games stats in the Ligue 1 were 4 victories, 2 draws and 6 defeats from 12 fixtures. The travelling fans think it's time that their travel expenses are covered with some points now, as Olympique have lost on their last two travels.
There might be some fixture complaints from Olympique as they are again playing away from home after losing on the road in their previous match, the Ligue 1 match against MC Alger (0-3). A draw for Olympique before that, at their own venue hosting MC Oran (1-1).
It's early days yet, but Olympique Médéa has scored 0 and conceded 3 goals from their travels in the league so far (1 game).
