CA Batna vs AzazgaPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Neither side arrives with a table to lean on, so the yardstick is the last five outings. CA Batna alternate: 5-0 over JS Bordj Ménaïel and 2-0 over USM Annaba on the positive side, 1-3 at home to USM Alger and 0-1 away at Khroub among the defeats, with a 1-1 against Témouchent in the most recent game. Azazga have played the same number of games but a different shape: the 5-0 over US Tébessa is their only win, then two draws close together, 1-1 with Ben Badis and 2-2 with WA Tlemcen, and two away defeats, 0-3 at El Biar and 0-2 at Bel Abbes, the latter in their most recent outing. There is only one recorded previous meeting between them, and it goes a long way back: 2-1 to CA Batna in November 2016. 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.
