USM Khenchela vs ASO Chlef Prediction: A close contest to end in a draw

This round 11 Algeria Ligue 1 match between USM Khenchela and ASO Chlef will take place at Hamam Ammar Stadium. Both teams have competed against one another twice before, with each side claiming victory in one of those encounters. 

In their recent matches, USM Khenchela secured one victory against El Bayadh. However, they faced defeats against MC Oran, CS Constantine, and MC Alger. Their match against bottom-placed Ben Aknoun ended in a goalless draw. Across these matches, USM Khenchela managed to score two goals but conceded six. They averaged 0.8 goals per match in the current league season. Notably, USM Khenchela excels in ball possession, maintaining an average possession of 54.70% in this season.

ASO Chlef comes into this match with a mixed record in their last five games. They secured victories against ES Sétif and US Souf but faced a defeat against JS Saoura, while two fixtures against NC Magra and Paradou AC ended in draws. Across these matches, ASO Chlef scored 8 goals while conceding 6. In away games, they averaged 1.3 goals scored and 1 goal conceded per match. Notably, ASO Chlef maintains a strong ball possession record, with an average of 53.00% overall in this season.

Both teams have not displayed significant strength recently, and as they approach this match, there is optimism about securing some points. However, the lack of a clear standout winner is apparent, and a low-scoring contest appears likely. Therefore, I predict a goalless draw in this matchup.
