Ben Aknoun vs BiskraPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

The Algerian season has only just restarted and the table says nothing yet, so the picture has to be read through recent results. Ben Aknoun closed their Ligue 1 campaign with a 1-1 away at Olympique Akbou and a 2-2 at home to USM Alger, preceded by a 1-3 at CR Belouizdad. Further back came a 3-0 home win over Mostaganem, a 2-3 home defeat to MC Alger and a 2-1 against ASO Chlef: six games with two wins, two draws and two defeats. US Biskra arrive from a far more solid Ligue 2 run: 1-1 with US Chaouia, then 2-0 at CR Béni Thour, 6-0 against HB Chelghoum Laïd, 1-0 at MSP Batna and 2-0 over NC Magra, with the only setback a 0-3 away at USM Annaba. Four wins, one draw and one defeat, with twelve goals scored. The two available head-to-heads are balanced: on 17 May 2024 Ben Aknoun won 2-1 at home, while on 29 December 2023 the meeting at US Biskra ended 1-1. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
