MC Alger and CR Temouchent last met in Feb 26 in Ligue 1, and this time the difference is that MC Alger have just thrashed MB Rouissat 2-0 at home in Ligue 1 on 18 Sep, while CR Temouchent have just lost 0-2 away to MC Oran in Ligue 1 on 11 Sep before bouncing back to edge JS Kabylie 1-0 at home on 17 Sep. MC Alger come straight off CAF Champions League duty, where they drew 0-0 with NIGELEC on 6 Sep, and returned to winning ways in the league immediately. Their attack still leans on the forward expected to lead the line as a lone striker, with a defence that controls the tempo of the game well, while CR Temouchent can win at home but their away trips remain a clear problem. Their defence concedes 30% of goals during the 46-60 minute window, the spell when the team tends to lose its footing after returning from the break. If MC Alger dominate possession and push high as expected, the game should flow one way and end with a clear margin, because CR Temouchent have not yet shown they can defend solidly enough in an opponent's home ground to withstand sustained attacking for the full 90 minutes.
