Ben Aknoun host Alger at Stade El Mokrani on June 4 in what is a meaningful end-of-season fixture in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1. Ben Aknoun sit eighth in the table with 41 points from 28 games, still with an eye on a potential top-seven finish. Alger, in tenth place on 37 points from 28 games, need a result to keep their upper-half ambitions alive.
One player to watch closely is Ben Aknoun’s attacking unit, which has found the net 38 times this season, making them one of the more productive sides in the lower half of the table. For Alger, their unbeaten run of draws has been notable in recent weeks, and their ability to grind out points under coach Lamine N’Diaye could prove important here. The head-to-head earlier this season ended 2-2, showing both sides are capable of scoring against each other.
Hot stat: Alger have drawn 13 of their 28 league matches this season, which is the highest draw count in the entire division. That tendency to share points is hard to ignore when assessing how this match might end.

Ben Aknoun vs Alger Prediction
Ben Aknoun hold home advantage and have a slightly stronger record in this fixture. The bookmakers give them a 47% win probability, which feels about right given that they are playing at Stade El Mokrani and have been the more consistent side over the course of the season. Their 38 goals scored compared to Alger’s 30 also gives them an edge in attacking output.
Alger’s draw-heavy season is the defining factor here. They have drawn 13 times in 28 games, and their last five results show a pattern of tight, low-scoring affairs. Ben Aknoun have been more direct and willing to push for wins, which fits the 4-2-3-1 structure both sides favor. We predict Ben Aknoun to edge this one, but the draw remains a real possibility given Alger’s ability to sit deep and absorb pressure.
Both sides have shown they can score against each other, as the earlier 2-2 draw this season confirmed. Alger have conceded just 25 goals all season, which is a solid defensive record, so a low-to-moderate scoring game seems likely. Ben Aknoun’s home record and the points pressure on both teams point toward a competitive, slightly open match.

Team Analysis
Ben Aknoun come into this fixture off the back of a 1-3 loss to CR Belouizdad, which was a tough result against one of the league’s top sides. Before that, they beat ES Mostaganem 3-0 and were only narrowly beaten 2-3 by league leaders MC Alger. Their form reads as competitive against strong opposition, and they have clearly shown they can score goals at home. Coach Mounir Zeghdoud has his side in a decent position, and a win here could consolidate their eighth-place standing.
Alger arrive in poor short-term form, having lost to Rouisset (0-1) and Khenchela (1-2) in their two most recent outings before drawing with CR Belouizdad (1-1). Their last five results show two losses, a draw, and a couple of wins against weaker opposition, specifically a 4-2 win over Paradou and a 1-0 win over Olympique Akbou. That inconsistency is a concern. Coach Lamine N’Diaye will need more from his side going forward, especially away from home.

Pre-game Odds and Win Probability: Ben Aknoun the Favourite
- Moneyline Ben Aknoun 1.95 | Alger 3.70
- Draw 3.00
- Over/Under Over 2.5 N/A | Under 2.5 N/A
- BTTS (both teams to score) Yes N/A | No N/A
The odds reflect a reasonably open match. Ben Aknoun at around 1.95 with bet365 offers decent value for the home win, given their stronger form and home advantage. Alger at 3.70 feels slightly generous given how many draws they have accumulated, and the draw price around 3.00 is actually worth considering as a secondary option. To be honest, the gap between the home and away prices is wider than the actual quality difference between these two sides, which makes the draw a more attractive side bet than the market suggests.
Possible Starting Lineups
Ben Aknoun are expected to line up in their preferred 4-2-3-1 shape under Mounir Zeghdoud. The provider has not supplied individual player data for this fixture, so confirmed names are unavailable. Their attacking line has been productive all season, scoring 38 goals in 28 games, and the forward players will be key to breaking down an Alger side that defends in a low block away from home.
Alger will also deploy their 4-2-3-1 formation under Lamine N’Diaye. Player-level data is not available from the provider for this match. Their defensive structure has been one of their stronger points this season, conceding only 25 goals in 28 games, but their recent losses to Rouisset and Khenchela suggest some vulnerability at the back when pressed with pace and direct play.

TipsGG Match Prediction
Ben Aknoun are the right side to back here. They are at home, they have scored more goals than Alger across the season, and their recent results against top-half teams show they are capable of competing at a high level. Alger’s draw record is extraordinary for a mid-table side, but their back-to-back losses heading into this match are a concern.
We predict a narrow Ben Aknoun win, with both teams finding the net at some point. The 4-2-3-1 setups from both sides tend to create space in the middle of the park, which should generate enough corner kicks to back an over 7.5 corners market. The half-time draw, full-time Ben Aknoun win is our hot tip, reflecting the likely cautious start before the home side pushes on in the second half.
