USM Alger - NC Magra

Short match review

USM Alger vs. Magra: Match Preview

The "Algerian Ligue 1" championship is coming to an end, and USM Alger will be hosting Magra. The match will take place at Omar Hamadi Stadium on July 4, 2023.

The last encounter between these two teams ended in a draw, with a scoreline of 1-1, just 7 months ago. They have recently played several matches against each other, and neither team can be considered a clear favorite based on those meetings.

Let's try to understand and analyze which team is stronger.

USM Alger: Currently occupies the fifth position in the league table out of 16 teams. Coach Abdelkader Amrani continues to work with a team that is in inconsistent form. In their recent home matches, the club has shown a lack of scoring proficiency. Some food for thought:
In their last home match, USM Alger played against Oran and the teams couldn't determine the winner, resulting in only one point earned. In the match before that, USM Alger played at home against US Biskra, where they scored one goal, which decided the outcome of the game.

Magra: Currently sits in twelfth position in the league table out of 16 teams. The team is in average form. According to the statistics of their recent matches, the club shows similar defensive efficiency both at home and away. Let's review their recent games:
Magra's last away match was against ASO. A solid defensive performance and one accurate shot from Magra determined the outcome of the match. The game was not the easiest in terms of fouls, with 6 yellow cards being shown. A month ago, the team played a home match against Belouizdad, and both teams played evenly, leading to a goalless draw.

Who should we bet on? Bookmakers rightfully consider the home team, USM Alger, as the clear favorites in this match. The difference in class between the teams is significant - bet on USM Alger to win (1.49 - Betcity).

USM Alger vs. Magra Predictions

The above statistics and analysis of the teams' form have led us to the following betting options:

USM Alger, the home team, has had an average performance in their last 5 official matches, winning 2 of them. The probability of their victory is estimated at bet on USM Alger to win (1.49 - Betcity).

In 5 out of the last 5 matches involving the away team, there have been no goals exchanged. Place a bet on both teams to score (1.58 - Betcity).

In the most recent 5 games involving Magra, a total of 4 goals were scored. The team has been playing a very low-scoring game lately, averaging around 1.5 goals per match. Therefore, it is reasonable to assume that this trend will continue and bet on under 2.5 goals (3.00 - Betcity).
