Olympique Akbou and ES Ben Aknoun have met twice this year and both games ended in shared points: 1-1 at Akbou's home and then 2-2 at Ben Aknoun's home. This time it is different in that both have already played four league games, and the two teams' current condition is no longer the same. Olympique Akbou opened the league with a 2-0 win, but after that they lost two in a row before closing with a 0-0 draw. The attack still has not clicked. Meanwhile, ES Ben Aknoun are still unbeaten in the league this season, but have drawn as many as three of the four games they have played. The defence is tough enough, but the finishing is not sharp enough to collect all three points. If Olympique Akbou score first, Ben Aknoun will have to open up and commit more players forward, and that could leave gaps in the visitors' already solid defence for the hosts to play long balls into on the counter. But if Ben Aknoun take the lead first, the game is likely to close up even more and end in a share of the points, as the previous two meetings did.
