The Stade Omar Hamadi will be the setting as Alger hosts CR Belouizdad in what looks like a pivotal Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1 fixture on June 2, 2026. Both teams still have everything to play for, but the context swings in favor of the visitors, who sit higher in the league and carry a sharper edge in recent matches. With MC Alger running away at the top, this matchup might not decide the title but it means plenty for continental ambitions, bragging rights, and maybe even the jobs of the two coaches—Lamine N’Diaye and Salim Seba. Tension, expectation, and the noise in Algiers will matter.
Riad Benayad for Alger, with his ability to sniff out loose balls up front, could turn a half-chance into something wild. On the other side, watch for CR Belouizdad’s attack-minded midfielder who controls tempo and sets off forward bursts that break defensive lines in a flash. Not the goalkeepers—this is where the outfielders take center stage.
Hot stat: CR Belouizdad are not just strong, they’ve fired in 14 shots per game over their last five matches. No other Algerian side matches this kind of attacking intent recently.

Alger vs CR Belouizdad prediction
Our pick: CR Belouizdad to win. The bookmakers have this one with a heavy CRB bias, and honestly, it’s hard to disagree. Their away form is solid, the squad’s confidence is higher, and their attack looks ruthless. Alger’s struggles are not a secret—just 8 wins in 27 league games, and a home record that looks shaky. Belouizdad’s recent winrate (57% last 30 days) isn’t fluke, it’s momentum, and their +23 goal difference makes a statement. Value sits with the away win, even at shorter odds.
Style of play leans one way—Belouizdad press high, take shots, and draw fouls, while Alger are more passive, sometimes careless. Both teams rack up fouls (Alger with 14 in their last game!), but the cards stay in pockets: just one yellow apiece last round. Ball progression is patchy for Alger; their pass accuracy is just 54% in the last game, while CRB’s midfield moves the ball quicker and cleaner. Set pieces? CRB love corners (3 last match). This could be physical, scrappy, and swing on a turnover or a set piece rather than open play magic.
| 🔥Hot Tip: | Under 2.5 goals |
| ⚽Total Goals: | Under 2.5 |
| 💥Both Teams To Score: | No |
| 🎯Total Corners: | Over 8.5 |
Team Analysis
Alger’s last match ended with a whimper: a 0-1 loss at home to Rouisset. They were hesitant in the build-up, failing to convert pressure into clear shots. Only nine shots attempted, with an eye-watering 14 fouls. The midfield looked static, and their creativity faded after conceding. Prior to that, a 1-2 defeat to Khenchela and a 4-2 win over Paradou suggest inconsistency is the only Algerian constant. Goals come in bursts, but so do defensive lapses.
CR Belouizdad, meanwhile, come in sharper. Their most recent win was a 3-1 cruise against Ben Aknoun, where they managed 14 shots and drew two yellows but kept the midfield under control. Before that, a 3-1 win over MC Oran and a 1-3 stumble against ES Setif show some volatility, but their underlying numbers—shots, corners, passes—always look more aggressive than the hosts. Their form line (wdlww) tells a story of a side that refuses to roll over after a loss. Discipline isn’t always perfect, yet their transitions are quick, sometimes breathtaking.

Pre-game odds and win probability: CR Belouizdad the favourite
- Moneyline Alger 5.40 | CR Belouizdad 1.60
- Draw 3.35
- Over/Under Over 2.5 2.20 | Under 2.5 1.60
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes 2.00 | No 1.66
Bookmakers lean heavily towards CR Belouizdad, and so do we. 1.60 for an away win is low, maybe too low for an Algerian league road trip, but their superior stats back it up. Over 2.5 at 2.20 tempts, but both teams have had issues converting chances—recent head-to-heads trend towards cagey, low-scoring draws. BTTS ‘No’ at 1.66 makes sense, given Alger’s attacking unpredictability and CRB’s solid defensive record.

TipsGG Match Prediction
TipsGG punters see this one going the visitors’ way. CR Belouizdad’s form is sharper, their attack more consistent, and their mentality is simply better. Alger’s home woes run deep—too many draws, not enough goals. We think CRB will control the midfield, take more shots, and edge it by a single goal. Don’t expect fireworks, but don’t expect a home upset either.
