USM Alger form and stats

USM Alger have performed here at Stade Omar Hamadi this season with 7 wins from 13 Ligue 1 matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 6 games and lost 0. Three draws in a row here at Stade Omar Hamadi for USM Alger, who might be willing to risk more at some point in hope of a win.

No payout for Alger in their previous match, an away game at NC Magra that ended in defeat 0-1.

Heartbreak before that as USM Alger lost 1-2 at MC Oran's place.

It would be a shock if the hosts fail to win this game. Let's see how USM Alger have performed as huge favourites like they are today: twelve games found in the database showing eight USM Alger wins, four draws and zero defeats.

A decent goal production from Alger in their home games so far, with 21 goals from 13 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 2 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. USM Alger have showed great defending skills in these home games, allowing the opposition to score only 6 goals.

Tlemcen form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Tlemcen so far with only 2 points returning home. The records show 0-2-12 (win-draw-lose). Travelling has not been lucrative for the away team as they have returned home without a win in 14 away games in a row.

Tlemcen aren't clicking offensively as they have gone 200 league minutes without a goal.

This game can not go any worse than the previous one, the home defeat versus US Biskra with 0-3 on the scoreboard.

Preceding that game, the 0-6 loss visiting JS Saoura's place.

Nobody expects Tlemcen to collect anything from a game like this. The team has been David versus Goliath 14 times before, with the overall statistics of won two, draw four and lost eight. When defeated, five matches have been lost by two or more goals.

There's been a serious shortage of goals from Tlemcen's away games in the league this season with only 3 goals from 14 matches. Tlemcen have conceded 32 goals in these games.
