JSM Skikda form and stats

OK but not perfect. That could be the conclusion for JSM Skikda's two home games in the Ligue 2 so far this season, having collected 3 points here at Stade du 20 Août 1955.

In their previous game, the manager Ifticen led his Skikda to a defeat away at USM El Harrach. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade du 20 Août 1955. As you see from the result above, JSM Skikda suffered greatly in their last game. Thankfully the team has a new chance to prove themselves in this one.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Teleghma in a game that was won 2-1.

This is expected to be a close game, with JSM Skikda perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with JSM Skikda as a small favourite), we find 10 games. Skikda has won 4 of these, drawn 2 and lost 4.

The manager Ifticen will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to MC El Eulma in only four days.

Early season league goal statistics from JSM Skikda's 2 home games: {2 goals}, 3 conceded.

Annaba form and stats

The visitors' first away game in the Ligue 2 ended in defeat. Last season Annaba had these away match statistics: Played 15; won 4, drew 5 and lost 6.

Annaba's last game was the home draw against RB Ouargla (2-2). The match against RB Ouargla looked like a defeat for Annaba, but they did not accept the outcome and clawed their way back to 2-2. I equalized in the 86th minute. Which player has scored four games in a row for the away side? The correct answer is I and that is impressive!

It was a defeat before that one as the away game against MC El Eulma wasn't a success with a 1-2 loss.

So, this is expected to be a close game, an even contest. Looking at earlier matches with Annaba playing away and similar expectations, we found 8 relevant matches. Results were 2 Annaba wins, 5 draws and 1 defeat.

A new game in only four days for Annaba, the Ligue 2 home match versus AS Khroub. Busy days.

Annaba have the goal stats of 1-2 (for/against) from 1 business trip in the league at this early stage of the season.

Head 2 Head

JSM Skikda have put together a sequence of 6 consecutive matches without losing (3-3-0) when facing Annaba.
