ES Ben Aknoun and JS El Biar meet in Ligue 1, with the hosts still unbeaten in the league this season and having just won 1-0 at home in their most recent league match, while the visitors also just won 4-0 away in their last match. Both teams therefore want the three points from this game to move up from mid-table. ES Ben Aknoun are unbeaten in five straight matches but drew four of them, a team that has less of the ball and relies more on counter-attacks, while JS El Biar have more possession and create slightly more chances, but their away form is still up and down, with one win and two defeats in the league. This game is likely to be one where the hosts mainly defend and wait for counter-attacking chances, while the visitors will have the ball and gradually open up the game. If JS El Biar play the way they do when they have more possession and do not concede easily like in the two matches they lost 0-2, the game has a chance of ending closely contested, and what to watch from the start is whether the hosts press high early or drop back to defend and wait.
