Head to Head


ES Setif hold an 11-6 advantage against Saoura across 21 previous meetings with four draws.

The match ended 1-1 when the sides last met in January.

ES Setif Form


ES Setif are chasing a top two finish and CAF Champions League qualification. They sit 11 points off second spot but with three matches in hand but have struggled of late.

They lost 4-0 at Al Ahly in the CAF Champions League semi-final first leg before a 2-2 home draw in the second leg. A 7-0 league win against Relizane came in-between their continental exit.

They then lost two successive Ligue 1 matches, 1-0 at Belouizdad and 3-1 at RC Arbaa. They responded well with a 1-0 win at WA Tlemcen in their last match.

ES Setif Injuries & Team News


Riad Beneyad is the side’s top Ligue 1 scorer this term with just five goals.

Coach Darko Novic has a clean bill of health and no suspensions. He is expected to select his best XI for this match.

JS Saoura Form


Saoura currently sit third in Ligue 1, four points off a CAF Champions League spot having played a match less. They have lost three of their last five league matches.

A 2-0 loss at MC Alger preceded a 2-0 home win against CS Constantine. Two away losses in a row followed as they were beaten 1-0 at Paradou and 2-1 at Kabylie.

They won 4-1 at home against relegation threaten Olympique Medea in their last match. Omar Adrar scored a late brace to add gloss to the result.

JS Saoura Injuries & Team News


Coach Moustapha Djallit was only appointed seven weeks ago but is already under pressure. He has no injuries or suspensions to contend with for this match.

The coach could play the same XI that won last time out. Belaid Hamidi has 10 Ligue 1 goals this season and will lead the attack.

Verdict


The odds are yet to be released for this match. I will be tipping ES Setif to take all three points. A win to nil also looks like a good bet considering Saoura’s troubles scoring goals.
