A game that has no particular motive but is one of the Algerian derby and always has a special significance for players and fans. Here we basically have a bet against Setif, which is going through a very difficult week and I do not think he will be able to meet the demands of the race and leave as a result of Algiers.
Setif played on Saturday in Tunisia for the African Champions League and made a magnificent appearance by taking a historic double in the Esperance headquarters and spreading pride in all of Algeria. Her reward from the federation was to set her two championship games in the week. On Tuesday, Setif played at El Harrach's headquarters and was easily defeated with 1-0. Two days later he has to go to Algiers to play against USM Alger, while on Sunday he hosts the Sfaxien Tunes for the African Champions League.
Calvary with 4 very strong games within 7 days and I sincerely expect Setif today to be in very poor condition. They show that they have put their weight in the Champions League, while in the league they are not very moved either to finish second or third. The complaints to the federation are many and there are thoughts of using many players from the second team in today's race.
Hosts of USM Alger, in addition to worthy champions, is also the team that plays by far the best football in the country. With 12 wins and 2 draws in her latest 14 games and 5-0-1 record against Setif in Algiers, I think they will not leave the chance for another big win to go through and end their year with a big party on their stadium.
