Last four games: LWLLL

Coach Madoui's men have picked up six points from a possible twenty-seven since the season commenced. MC Oran's last five games have ended in four defeats and a win. Things have not been going well for the visitors, who sits in the relegation zone. They march here with another with a defeat on the road even though they played well. After holding CS Constantine to a goalless draw before the break, the hosts were awarded a controversial penalty, which denied them a point on the road. MC Oran's problem last season was their inability to get points on the road; in fact, they are yet to win any of their previous sixteen games. They rely so much on their ability at home to survive relegation.
