It's still early in the Ligue 1 season, but we are learning more and more about the teams. Here is the USM Bel Abbès - ES Sétif preview!
The hosts Abbès saw competitive action as recent as four days ago, playing in the Ligue 1. Thankfully the previous game, versus MC Alger, was also a home game here at Stade du 24 février 1956. The away team is better rested.
2-7-3 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for ES Sétif when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those twelve matches are 10-11 (scored/conceded).
