Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, USM Alger in 12th and RC Relizane in 9th place.
- USM Alger has the fewest matches under the total-line (0) in Ligue 1
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.
4-6-17 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for RC Relizane when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 27 matches are 16-34 (scored/conceded).
USM Alger form and stats
Three Ligue 1 home games done for USM Alger, who are not happy collecting 3 points from these matches.
Previous to that game, a home match hosting NA Hussein Dey in a game that was won 3-0.
USM Alger are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 4 goals in 3 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Alger defense is not exactly impregnable. 5 goals conceded from 3 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
RC Relizane form and stats
RC Relizane are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Ligue 1, having played 3 games and collected 4 points (1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss).
Relizane go into this game after a win, the home game against US Biskra that ended 2-0. Prior to that match, the Relizane manager faced defeat when travelling to MC Oran and losing 0-1.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Relizane as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. They concede less than a goal on average per away game (2 so far).
Head 2 Head
Head-to-head totals (for the last four meetings): Alger won one game, one match ended with a draw and RC Relizane has two wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / oneTop Goalscorers
