CS Constantine vs USM Alger Prediction: The guests will give the hosts a run for their money

CS Constantine will hope to maintain their unbeaten league run when they lock horns against USM Alger at the Chahid Hamlaoui Stadium on Monday. The Smurfs have been eliminated from the Algerian FA Cup and securing the second spot is their only route to play CAF Champions League. At the same time, USM Alger have wasted their opportunity to play continental football after one win over their last four games.

Last five games: WWWDW

The Smurf secured another three points on the road despite not being at their best. They were reduced to ten men but got the job done against a struggling US Biskra. With three games to end this campaign, CS Constantine stand a chance of playing in the CAF Champions League if they secure the maximum points at home tomorrow. 

CS Constantine are unbeaten over their previous eight games, winning six and settling for two stalemates. 

Abdelkader Amrani's men moved to the third spot on the log and are a point below the second place. CS Constantine have scored in all but two of their last twenty matches in all competitions and have found the back of the net forty-two times this season. 

CS Constantine have won eight, lost once, and drawn three on their ground this season. 

Last five games: WLLWL

The Usmists have chosen the wrong time to slip up, bowing to a (0-2) defeat against ES Ben Aknoun away from home. For the third time this season, they suffered another setback on their ground. Considering their league run, USM Alger might not play continental football next season. 

USM Alger maintained their spot on the log and could attain fourth place with a victory over their opponent. The guests have picked up forty-two points from a possible seventy-eight, scoring thirty-two while conceding twenty-seven. USM Alger have won four, lost seven games, and once on the road this season. 

Both teams have won eight games apiece, with four games ending in a tie over their previous twenty meetings. USM Alger have been below par in recent games and have lost momentum. They have won once over their last four matches and have nothing to play for here. On the opposing end, CS Constantine will be keen to overtake CR Belouizdad in second place to feature in next season's CAF Championship. The hosts have been up and running lately and have won four of their last five matches. 

CS Constantine are missing four key players, the same as the guests, but home advantage counts here. Even though the visitors have nothing to play for, they’ll not give the game away; bet on home halftime over 0.5 goals for 1.70.

We expect both teams to get a goal apiece for 2.07.

This game will end in favor of the hosts; bet on a home halftime victory for 2.03.

Good luck!
