This home team is in a bit of a purple patch inside their own ground. Ben Aknoun scored three or more goals in 3 of their recent 4 home matches and accolades have also come in for their defence. At the back they have conceded no more than once in 10 of their last 11 home games.

SC Ain Defla have conceded three or more goals in 6 of their last 8 matches. If there are genuine concerns, maybe they are creeping into the other end of the pitch. The visitors have scored one or less goals in all of their last 14 matches. Maybe they won't present the threat on goal they have done before.
