Getting closer to the top teams is at stake when these two mid-table clubs battle it out. Both will be aiming to improve their league table standing, Annaba in 6th and DRB Tadjenanet in 10th place.
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on grass and that the visiting DRB Tadjenanet have a different surface at their stadium (artificial turf). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on grass is 1-5-11 (win-draw-loss) from 17 matches.
