ES Sétif - MC El Bayadh 
Newcomer Mpayad was the surprise of last season as he finished 4thη position, thanks mainly to home performances. A positive start again this year with a 1-0 home win over Constantine, but the challenge for the team is the next two games in Setif against E.E. and in Algiers with Mouloudia.
The E.U. Setif starts on new bases as after its problematic presence in last year's championship, it changed management, coach, and many players. In the premiere, they lost 1- to Kensela, but today's game is the barometer that will largely show the prospects for the continuation. Rallying for the result, which I reckon he can get even if the match is played behind closed doors.
