At home the hosts average 1.67 goals per game with an average xG of 1.64, while the visitors score 1.25 goals away and have xG 1.34, and shot conversion is 14% versus the guests' 12%. Defensively Saoura concede on average 1.00 goal at home and register xG against of 1.01, whereas USM Khenchela concede 1.58 goals away and have xG against 1.83, indicating greater exposure of the visitors to opponents' chances. In the last 5 matches both teams have won 3 games, but the hosts are 3-1-1 with 6 scored/3 conceded goals, while the guests are 3-0-2 with 8 scored and 5 conceded. Considering home possession 56% vs 45%, 0% clean-sheet-less home matches versus 25% such away matches for the visitors, and superiority in xG and goal difference at home (+8 vs -4), I predict a home win.
