Match description

MC Alger sits 1st in the table with 17 wins, 4 draws and 4 losses this season, while Ben Aknoun have 10 wins, 8 draws and 7 losses, giving the visitors a clear advantage in results. MC Alger’s away defence looks solid — they concede only 0.62 goals per match on average and keep 62% clean sheets, whereas Ben Aknoun at home concede 1.17 goals per match and have 25% clean sheets; in the last 5 matches the hosts conceded 7 goals and the visitors 4. In attack MC Alger average 8.62 shots per match (4.46 on target) and have an xG of 1.33 away, while Ben Aknoun at home average 7.08 shots (3.83 on target) with an xG of 1.23; the hosts have better conversion 19% versus 13% for the visitors, which is their main strength. In the last 5 fixtures Ben Aknoun scored 7 goals and averaged 1.6 points per match (2W, 2D, 1L), and MC Alger scored 6 goals and averaged 1.8 points per match (3W, 0D, 2L), which, combined with the advantage in chance creation, favours the visitors. Therefore I forecast a MC Alger win; I assess the chances as 60% for a visitors’ victory, 20% draw and 20% home win.
