MC Saïda form and stats

5 victories, 4 draws and 4 defeats. That’s what MC Saïda have to build on here at Stade 13 Avril 1958 in the Ligue 2. When MC Saïda hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Kouba, Olympique Médéa, RC Relizane, Tlemcen and MC Saïda), they have won 2 of 3 matches!

The regulars are hoping that Saïda will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 1-2 away loss in the match against SKAF Khémis Mélina (placed 7th).

Before that game, the 2-1 home victory against MCB Oued Sly.

A fact related to the "Both teams to score yes/no" betting option: A review of the 12 most recent league matches highlights that 9 of them had at least one goal scored by each team.

The MC Saïda fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 17 in 13 matches. Defensively it’s touch-and-go for the home team as 20 goals have been conceded.

GC Mascara form and stats

There's been little loot from GC Mascara's travels as they have only collected 6 points from 13 away games in the Ligue 2. GC Mascara only have 1 win to counter their 9 defeats and 3 draws.

GC Mascara's previous game was their home loss versus Mostaganem (1-2). That defeat was their first after five consecutive league fixtures winning points.

Preceding that game was the away victory against RC Relizane with the score of 1-0.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting Mascara as they have only managed to score 7 times from 13 away games in the league. GC Mascara's defence is not exactly unbeatable as they have conceded 24 goals from these trips. There's been improvement defensively lately, as only 1 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
