CS Constantine have scored 10 goals in their last five appearances, but have also conceded as many as 13, highlighting significant defensive instability. The visitors have won only 1 of those 5 matches and lost 3, while their average of 0.8 points per game is well below Temouchent’s 2.6. Given this clear difference in current form and defensive organization, the hosts should have the better chance of securing victory.

CS Constantine averaged 2.0 goals scored during this period and recorded an 80% BTTS rate, but at the same time their xG stood at 1.38 compared with the 0.85 xG that Temouchent conceded on average. The visitors have a clear defensive problem, having conceded 13 goals in 5 appearances, or 2.6 per match, giving the hosts a realistic chance of scoring. Nevertheless, the more likely scenario is that at least one side fails to score, primarily because Temouchent have kept 4 clean sheets in their last 5 matches. This supports the BTTS - No / No Goal selection: it does not automatically mean a 0:0 draw or that neither team will score, only that at least one team is expected to fail to find the net.

Only 7 goals were scored in total across Temouchent’s last five matches, and none of those games went Over 2.5 goals; for Constantine, the 2.5-goal line was exceeded in 80% of matches, mainly due to their weak defense. The estimated total of 2.35 goals suggests a realistic chance of 2-3 goals, but four or more goals would require a more open game script than the hosts’ defensive profile indicates. Therefore, the strongest selection is Under 3.5 goals, supported by a projected probability of 76%.
