General match analysis

MC Alger sit 1st in the table and win 91% of home matches, with 16 wins this season and a goal record of 30:11; El Bayadh are 16th, have only 2 wins this season, a record of 14:32 and 0% away wins. In the form of the last 5 matches the home side have 4 wins and 1 loss (average 2.4 points per game), while the visitors have not won any match in that period, with 3 draws and 2 losses (average 0.6 points per game). MC Alger’s home attack averages 1.45 goals per game with 12.55 shots and 5.64 on target (conversion 12%), whereas El Bayadh score only 0.33 goals on average away with 7.33 shots and 3.67 on target (conversion 5%) and failed to score in 67% of away matches. Defensively MC Alger also perform better: they concede 0.45 goals at home on average, have 64% clean sheets and an average xG against of 0.83, while El Bayadh concede 1.42 goals away, have xG against 1.49 and only 17% clean sheets on the road. Considering the positional advantage (1 vs 16), superior efficiency and clearly better defensive record and form (2.4 vs 0.6 pts/game), I predict a home win and assess the probabilities as 80% for MC Alger, 12% for a draw and 8% for El Bayadh.

BTTS - will both teams score?

El Bayadh has a poor away scoring record: 0.33 goals per match and 14 goals in the season, while MC Alger have 30 home goals this season and a seasonal average of 0.77 goals (rising to 1.4 in the last 5 matches). In their last 5 matches MC Alger scored 7 and conceded 3 (1.4 scored and 0.6 conceded per match), whereas El Bayadh scored 3 and conceded 6 (0.6 and 1.2), indicating a more stable home defense and weaker attacking output from the visitors. BTTS percentage stands at 46% for the home side and 33% for the away side, with a league average of 46%, so historically both teams scoring occurs in under half of matches, with a clear downturn on El Bayadh’s side. xG analysis shows MC Alger generates 1.71 xG per match, while El Bayadh concedes around 1.49 xG away; conversely El Bayadh’s xG_for is 1.11 but they actually score only 0.33 on the road, meaning the visitors fail to convert chances. Considering the visitors’ low seasonal scoring output (0.33 away), the home side’s improved recent defense (0.6 conceded in the last 5) and the lower seasonal BTTS for the visitors (33%), I predict No Goal / No BTTS as the more likely outcome.

Over/Under - goals analysis

Calculated expected goals based on xG are approximately 1.60 for the home side (MC Alger xG_for 1.71 vs El Bayadh xG_against 1.49 → average 1.60) and 1.16 for the away side (El Bayadh xG_for 1.11 vs MC Alger xG_against 1.21 → 1.16), total ≈2.76. From a Poisson distribution with λ=2.76 the probabilities are: Over 1.5 ≈76%, Over 2.5 ≈52% and Over 3.5 ≈30%, therefore the strongest signal is Over 1.5. Support comes from shot statistics: MC Alger averages 14.31 shots and 4.92 on target per match versus 7.33 and 3.67 for El Bayadh, which increases scoring likelihood. Despite low season scoring averages (0.77 homes, 0.33 away), the last 5 matches show an uptick (home average 1.4 goals and away 0.6) and higher xG, while season % of matches over 1.5 is 69% for homes and 58% for aways, further supporting Over 1.5.

View Over/Under statistics
HT/FT - half-time and full-time scenario

The strongest signal indicates a Half-Time/Full-Time X/1: a draw at half-time and a home win after the match. Seasonally, home teams led at the break in only 8% of matches, while a draw occurs in 54% of their games and in 42% of away teams’ games, making a draw HT the most reliable scenario. The second key indicator is a home advantage in the second half — home teams average 1.15 goals after the break (AVG_2hg_home 1.15) and exceed 0.5 second-half goals in 85% of cases, versus 1.08 and 67% for away teams, suggesting a turnaround after half-time. Additionally, home teams have higher xG (1.71 vs 1.11) and more shots on average (14.31 vs 7.33), and in the last five matches home teams won 80% of games compared to 0% for away teams, which increases the likelihood of a home win in regulation. Seasonally, however, home teams score little by half-time (scoredAVGHT_home 0.23 vs 0.0 for away teams) and HT BTTS is rare (15% vs 0%), so I expect a draw at the break and the outcome after the break in favor of MC Alger.
