Match description

I back an away win (2): MC Alger top the table with a record of 16 wins, 4 draws and 2 losses and a 5-match winning streak in which they scored 11 goals. JS Saoura sit 3rd (12-4-7) and have scored only 4 goals in their last 5 matches; this translates to an average of 1.8 pts per match in that period versus 3.0 pts for MC Alger. Defensively the visitors are clearly stronger — MC Alger concede an average of 0.36 goals away and have 73% clean sheets on the road, while Saoura concede 1.00 goal at home on average and have 45% clean sheets. The hosts do create more chances: 12.3 shots and 4.9 on target per home game with xG 1.63, versus 8.27 shots, 4.18 on target and xG 1.30 for MC Alger away, which suggests Saoura may press, but the quality of the visitors’ defense can neutralize that. Considering form (11 goals and 3.0 pts in the last 5) and the visitors’ significant defensive edge, I rate MC Alger as more likely to win.
