Khenchela vs El Bayadh Prediction: Visitors are the better side

The match between Khenchela and El Bayadh that is scheduled to take place in the ninth round of the Algerian Ligue 1 will take place at Hamam Ammar Stadium. In the following, I will examine the previews of the match and also make a prediction about the outcome. 

In their recent matches, Khenchela has struggled to secure a victory. The home team faced defeats against USM Alger, US Biskra, MC Oran, and CS Constantine, with one match ending in a draw against Ben Aknoun. Throughout these games, Khenchela failed to score a single goal while conceding 7. Their goal-scoring average per match in the current league season stands at 0.75.

In terms of discipline, the home team received 12 yellow cards but no red cards. Additionally, Khenchela has shown proficiency in ball possession, maintaining an average possession of 53.88% in this season.

El Bayadh heads into this match with a relatively good recent record, having won three out of their last five matches against ASO Chlef, US Souf, and Paradou AC. Two other matches concluded in draws, against JS Saoura and NC Magra. In this span, the visiting team scored a total of 7 goals while conceding only 1. In their away games, El Bayadh has maintained an average of 1.13 goals scored per match and conceded 0.63.

However, when it comes to ball possession, El Bayadh has a slightly lower average, with possession standing at 49.57% overall for this season.

Although Khenchela appears to be the superior squad on paper, I do not have faith in them due to their recent poor performance, which has resulted in them losing most of their matches in recent times. However, given that E Bayadh has been playing some really good football as of late, I have no doubt that the away team will prevail here.
