ES Setif vs ES Ben Aknoun Prediction: Both sides will get a goal apiece here

ES Setif will be keen to unseat CS Constantine in the second spot when they host ES Ben Aknoun at the 8 May 1945 Stadium on Saturday. The Black and White march here with a disappointing performance on their ground against Cr Belouizdad and will be desperate to rewrite their mistakes when they face off against Ben Aknoun tomorrow. 

ES Setif (3rd)

Last five games: DWWWL

For the first time in six games, the Black and White suffered a setback as they were beaten heavily by CR Belouizdad in front of their home supporters. ES Setif were stunned in the first few minutes of the game as the visitors struck twice before the course of the halftime. They tried to overturn the lead when they scored after the break; however, the visitors found the back of the net again to cart away the maximum point.

Frank Dumas' men have won six, drawn twice, and lost four already this season as they dropped to third place on the log. ES Setif have won four, lost a game and drawn once on their ground this season, with thirteen points from a possible eighteen, and we expect a better performance from them this time.

ES Ben Aknoun

Last five games: DLDDW

For the first time this season, Bilel Dziri's men secured their first three points when they defeated the struggling MC Oran. Intending to escape relegation this season, Ben Aknoun pulled a surprise performance against MC Oran, scoring twice while the visitors responded once. The hosts have stepped up their game in recent weeks with three games without a defeat. ES Ben Aknoun moved to 14th on the log with seven points from a combined thirty-three. 

ES Ben Aknoun will have to be at their best to prevent the host side from scoring, which is likely to happen.

Expert Betting Tips

ES Setif have received the return of goalkeeper Saïdi and midfielder Jiddou, who were out due to an automatic suspension after receiving four warnings each. ES Setif have been fantastic in recent weeks until their game against CR Belouizdad. On the other hand, Ben Aknoun have been unstoppable in their last three games. They have drawn against CR Belouizdad and US Biskra with their recent win over MC Oran. The hosts can’t afford to lose back-to-back on their ground, as we expect a positive response from them here. This game will produce goals; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.05.

We also think this game will end in a BTTS for 2.42.

ES Setif are expected to get a halftime victory here for 1.87.
