ES Setif vs NC Magra Prediction: The hosts are expected to return to winning ways

ES Setif will hope to bounce back from their recent defeat away from home when they face off against NC Magra at the 8 Mai Stadium on Sunday. Ammar Souayah's men can’t afford to drop points in their attempt to play continental football, but they must be careful against a very organised NC Magra team.

Last five games: LWDWL

The Black and White failed in their attempt to secure the third spot after their terrible display against MC Oran on the road. ES Setif conceded four goals for the second time this season in a game where they locked like securing a point. They’ll be obliged to make amends when they face off against NC Magra tomorrow. 

Things have not been going in the right direction for Ammar Souayah's men, and they are now five points behind the second spot. They have picked up forty-two points from a combined seventy-eight, scoring thirty-three and conceding thirty-four times.

NC Magra have won four, drawn three, and lost six games on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous eleven matches, ES Setif have won seven while NC Magra have won twice, and two games ending in a tie. ES Setif suffered a shocking defeat away from home, conceding four goals against MC Oran. Es Setif were not bad in that game, but they were extremely wasteful. At the same time, NC Magra left it late again to secure the maximum points against a struggling opponent.

The visitors are capable of getting a goal here; bet on BTTS for 2.25.

We expect a correct score of (2-1) from the hosts for 8.03.
