MC Oran vs JS Saoura Prediction: A low goal scoring contest

Week 2 of Algeria Ligue 1 activity will include a match between MC Oran and JS Saoura at Oran Olympic Stadium. The host squad was defeated by ASO Chlef last time out, while Saoura overcame Biskra.

MC Oran were victorious in two of their previous five matches, both of which were played against ES Sétif and JS Saoura. On the other hand, the host club was defeated in three of those five matches against MC Alger, US Biskra, and ASO Chlef. MC Oran were only able to score five goals in those encounters, while they allowed six goals to be scored against them. MC Oran's average in this category of 40.00% demonstrates how difficult it has been for them to keep possession of the ball this season. MC Oran are currently at the bottom of the table in Algerian Ligue 1 heading into this match.

JS Saoura is heading into this match having won two of their most recent five matches, both of which were victories against Chelghoum Laid and US Biskra. However, the away club suffered defeats at the hands of Paradou AC and MC Oran, while one of their matches with ES Sétif ended in a draw. During those matches, Saoura was responsible for both scoring four goals and allowing three goals. JS Saoura scored an average of one goal per game when playing away from home while only allowing zero goals. Heading into this contest, JS Saoura are currently in the fourth spot of the Algeria Ligue 1 with three points.

MC Oran and JS Saoura have competed against one another a total of 13 times over the course of the last seasons, with JS Saoura emerging victorious on five of those occasions. A total of four of the games were decided by a draw. In the head-to-head matchups, MC Oran scored 10 goals, while JS Saoura managed to score 14 goals.

This clash is likely to be low-scoring. These two sides are not strong offensively, and I expect them to struggle to score many goals. In addition, with a number of wonderful chances predicted, poor conversion and a lot of defensive play should help lead to corners here.
