This match stars two contenders living in the basement of the Ligue 2, Tlemcen at 13th spot and Kouba lying 15th. A good chance for one of the participants to better their position.
- Tlemcen have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Kouba is in the worst form (0-0-6)
2-3-3 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Kouba when playing away games on grass, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has artifical turf). Their goal statistics from those eight matches are 7-8 (scored/conceded).
This promises to be an absorbing match with lots of fun and excitement as both squads are well rested since they last ran out on the pitch. Game on!
Tlemcen form and stats
The complete Ligue 2 statistics at home this season for Tlemcen are 3-3-3 (wins-draws-losses). When Tlemcen hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Olympique Médéa, GC Mascara, RC Relizane, Tlemcen and MC Saïda), they have won 1 of 2 matches!
A good away victory last time out for Tlemcen, who won 2-0 against RC Relizane (placed 16th). Just what the doctor ordered, as that was the first league win after failing to win eight matches in a row.
Before that, Tlemcen drew at home versus GC Mascara.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Tlemcen have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 6 games) they have won 3 times, drawn 2 and lost 1.
Tlemcen has scored 11 league goals at home this season, in 9 matches. Tlemcen have conceded 10 in these home matches. It's worth mentioning that 5 of these goals has been conceded in their last three home matches.
Kouba form and stats
Kouba have only collected 4 points from their away games in the Ligue 2, after 1-1-7 (9 played). Kouba are generally in trouble as the list of consecutive losses is growing into an ugly monster. Regardless of home/away, the visitors have now lost seven in a row. It's been 10 weeks since they last avoided defeat. (The WA Boufarik game.)
Kouba have been frustrated by their lack of goals lately, as they haven't scored in the league since they found the net 573 minutes ago.
Kouba failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs MCB Oued Sly (placed 5th) that ended with defeat 0-1. It's a bit weird; the match result 0-1 has been on "repeat" four games in a row!
Prior to that match, the Kouba manager faced defeat when travelling to NA Hussein Dey and losing 0-1.Kouba are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is 2 wins, 2 draws and 1 defeat. From a total of 5 matches.
Look out: 9 of the last 11 league games involving this side have had only one (or no) team scoring (Both Teams to Score NO in sports betting terms).
The Kouba manager has some worries about the defense as 21 goals have been conceded in these travels.
Head 2 Head
This isn't the first time these teams get together this season, as the results database show this recent fixture: Kouba - Tlemcen 0-0. Previous five meetings between these sides: Tlemcen won two, Kouba were winners in one and we saw two draws. two games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with less than 2,5 goals.
