The visiting Tlemcen side should be favourites in this visit to Amal Bou Saâda, as the away team holds a 12 point advantage from their 17 league games this season.
Amal Bou Saâda and Tlemcen should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Tlemcen have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-2-12 (win-draw-loss) from 18 matches.
