- USM Alger has the most scored goals in the second half (11) in Ligue 1
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Abbès and USM Alger.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting USM Alger have a different surface at their stadium (artifical turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 2-7-7 (win-draw-loss) from 16 matches.

USM Bel Abbès, who have the most conceded goals (18) in Ligue 1, have played 5 Ligue 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 1-1-3 (wins-draws-losses).
No payout for USM Bel Abbès in their previous match, an away game at CR Belouizdad that ended in defeat 1-3. Before that game, the home loss against Tlemcen with the scoreline 2-3.
The Abbès fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 5 in 5 matches. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Abbès defense is not exactly impregnable. 8 goals conceded from 5 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
