USM Alger Form & Team News

USM Alger are having a terrible run of form and have dropped to eighth in Algeria Ligue 1. They have already qualified from their CAF group but have top spot to fight for.

They lost 2-1 at home to CS Constantine in the league before a 5-2 win at lower league US Boukhadara in a cup game. A disastrous 5-1 home loss came next in the league to Paradou AC.

A 1-0 setback at Khenchela made it three successive league defeats. Last weekend, they lost 2-1 at Al Hilal in a CAF match.

USM Alger are set to play their best XI in this one. They need a win to guarantee top spot in Group A.

There are no suspensions or injuries to deal with.

USM Alger Predicted Lineup

Benbot; Belaid, Dehiri, Bounacer; Radouani, Bouchina, Chita, Bacha; Merli; Djahnit, Ateba.

SuperSport United Form & Team News

SuperSport are proving hard to beat with one defeat in eight fixtures. Their last four matches have all ended in 1-1 draws.

They ended 2023 with a 3-1 loss at relegation threatened Richards Bay with ten men. A 1-1 home draw vs Stellenbosch in the league preceded a 1-1 draw and win on penalties vs Cape Town City in the Nedbank Cup.

Last weekend, SuperSport drew 1-1 at home with Modern Future in a CAF match. On Wednesday, a last-gasp goal scored rescued a 1-1 PSL draw at Cape Town City.

Centre back Keagan Allan will play after a domestic suspension. Coach Gavin Hunt is set to play a second-string XI.

SuperSport are eliminated from CAF competition already. Fringe players like Jesse Donn and Ronald Pfumbidzai could get rare outings.

SuperSport United Predicted Lineup

Arubi; Okon, Allan, Baloyi, Pfumbidzai; Donn, Nange; Matodzi, Bezuidenhout, Rasebotja; Ighodaro.

Verdict

USM Alger v SuperSport United

I'm backing a home win in this one with a clean sheet.
