Al Masry SC - CR Belouizdad: our prediction

Statistics from the last 10 matches show that Al Masry SC has seen under 2.5 goals in 70% of its matches (7/10) and CR Belouizdad also in 70% of its matches (7/10). Both teams have solid defenses: Al Masry kept 3 clean sheets, Belouizdad kept 6. The attacks are not prolific: Al Masry scores +0.5 goals per team in 90% of cases, but +1.5 only in 30%. Belouizdad scores +0.5 in 70% of cases, +1.5 in 50%. Recent form and the importance of the competition suggest a cautious match with few goals.

In its last 10 matches, Al Masry SC has scored under 1.5 goals in 70% of cases (7/10). Its attack is not very effective: it has scored +1.5 goals only in 30% of recent matches. Facing the very solid defense of CR Belouizdad (6 clean sheets out of 10, i.e., 60%), it is unlikely that Al Masry will find the net multiple times. Even at home and as the favorite, its limited offensive performances and the strong opposing defense support this bet.

CR Belouizdad has scored at least one goal in 70% of its last 10 matches (7/10). The team has good offensive form with scorers like Belhocini (4 goals) and Hammouda (3 goals). Al Masry SC has a vulnerable defense, keeping only 3 clean sheets out of 10 and conceding goals in 70% of its matches. Although Belouizdad is playing away, its confidence and recent offensive efficiency give it a good chance to score at least once.
