Berkane vs USM Alger Prediction: Berkane to cement their final spot with a win

The return leg of the CAF Confederation Cup game between Berkane and USM Alger will take place at the Stade Municipal de Berkane. In this game's reverse fixture, B𒅌erkane has the advantage, with a 0-3 walkover. Can the visiting side, USM Alger, turn the tables here and send themselves to the final?

Berkane wouldn't have hoped for a better result than their first league 0-3 advantage on a walkover in the first leg. However, heading into this game, the hosts will try their best to win at the home venue. The Moroccan team displayed top-level performances in the group stage of this competition, accumulating 14 points in six matches, which was good enough to help them finish top of the standings. In the knockout stage, Berkane played Libya side Abu Salim, and they won 3-2 in this venue following a goalless draw in the first leg. Heading into this game, Berkane have now gone unbeaten in eight games in all competitions, winning six and drawing two.

USM Alger has a huge test ahead of them, following a 3-goal advantage over their opponent. Due to Algerian officials confiscating Berkane's uniforms before kickoff, Berkane were awarded a 3-goal win. However, midweek, USM Alger played against CR Belouizdad in the Algerian Cup semifinal, and this side lost that game on penalties after the regular time had ended goalless. In the meantime, their quarterfinal encounter in this competition saw USM Alger defeat Rivers United 2-0, overturning a 1-0 loss in the first leg. Now, going into this game, the visiting team hopes they find luck and secure a spot in the finals.

This will be a very tough game, with both teams expected to come here with a desire to win. Berkane have a considerable margin advantage, but they✃ will look to secure a win at home. The roadside, USM Alger, has been outstanding also in 🔴this competition, and I expect them to be able to score here.
