This match features two teams living in the basement of the Ligue 1, USM Bel Abbès holding 11th place and NC Magra lying 14th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
USM Bel Abbès have less rest than NC Magra in this fixture, as the hosts were involved in a Algeria Cup game only four days ago. Thankfully the previous game, versus Annaba, was also a home game here at Stade du 24 février 1956. The away team is better rested.
