JS Saoura vs Khenchela Prediction: The home team will not disappoint

At Stade 20 Août 1955 Béchar, JS Saoura will play Khenchela in round 2 of the Algeria Ligue 1. The last meeting between the two teams ended in a win for Khenchela. How will this one e💃nd?

JS Saoura

JS Saoura opened their season with a defeat at the hands of MC Oran in a game that ended 2-0. In that game, Kamel Belmiloud scored an own goal in the 11th minute, which put MC Oran in the lead. In the meantime, in the 80th minute, Ahmed Kerroum's strike sealed maximum points for MC. Heading into this game, JS Saoura have failed to win any of their last three matches in all competitions, losing two and drawing one. 

Khenchela

Khenchela will play their first game this season and will look to start with a positive outcome. The previous season, Khenchela finished 10th spot with 39 points from 30 matches. In that season, Khenchela scored 33 goals while conceding 39 in the same run. Entering into the new season, Khenchela have two wins, one draw and two defeats. 

Expert Betting Tips

There is little or no difference in the level of play of the two teams, and I expect them to be at their best here. While JS Saoura are the better favorite in this game, Khenchela have a good record in this fixture, with consecutive wins in this fixture. Yet, this is a new season, and following a defeat in their opener, I am backing them to win here. Also, with their past meetings ending with few goals, the fact that the two teams' defense line is poor is a testament that this will end with a similar outcome.
