USM Alger vs Future FC Prediction: The hosts will maintain their unbeaten run

USM Alger will strive to retain the CAF Confederation Cup this season when they host Future FC at the 5 July Stadium on Sunday. The hosts have had their ups and downs this campaign, but with the arrival of their new coach, they’ve won back-to-back games in this competition.

USM Alger (Algeria)

The hosts have started this tournament on a high with two wins in two games. After their opening match victory over Al Hilal Benghazi, USM Alger stunned Supersport United on the road. USM Alger kept a clean sheet in both games, scoring four times.

USM Alger secured their first CAF Confederation Cup last season when they defeated Young Africans (2-2) on aggregate. USM Alger knocked out a robust FUS Rabat side in the qualifier to secure the ticket to the group phase.

USM Alger have struggled this season, especially in their league, as they have won twice and lost four games.

Future (Egypt)

The Egyptian team have had a decent start in this tournament, picking up six points from a combined six. Future FC head here with a convincing victory over Al Hilal Benghazi SC. Before then, they secured the maximum points against Supersport United in Egypt.

Future FC, who failed to make it out of their Group stage last season, won two in two games. Future FC have signed Ricardo Formosinho to lead the side to glory this season as they shuffle through four competitions.

Expert Betting Tips

USM Alger have a way of getting things done in this competition, and with their run last season, we expect them to be stronger here. On the other hand, Future have only had a decent run in this competition while their struggles continue in Egypt Premier League. USM Alger are experienced and familiar with Egyptian teams, having won against Al Ahly in the Super Cup final this season. We expect them to dominate here and win for 1.80.

We don’t think they’ll concede here; bet on BTTS No for 1.66.

Both teams might settle for a halftime draw here for 2.00.

Good luck!
