US Biskra are ninth in Algeria's Ligue 1 with 1 point after a single round, which ended in a 2-2 draw away to Ben Aknoun on 10 September. Looking further back, before that draw the side closed last season's Ligue 2 campaign with another draw, 1-1 at home to US Chaouia on 9 May; before that a 2-0 away win over CR Béni Thour, and further back three straight wins: 6-0 at home over HB Chelghoum Laïd, 1-0 away at MSP Batna and 2-0 at home over NC Magra. MC Oran are fifth with 3 points, from a win in their only game of this Ligue 1, 2-0 at home over Témouchent on 11 September. Before that win they beat Muaither SC 3-0 in a friendly on 28 July; further back, a 2-2 home draw against USM Alger on 6 June, a 1-3 away defeat to CR Belouizdad on 20 May, and further still two wins: 1-0 at home over ASO Chlef and 2-1 away at JS Kabylie.

Before that, on 8 December 2024, MC Oran won 1-0 at home (that fixture was played on the opposite ground to the one now scheduled).

The competition average is 2.17 goals per game. 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.
