Temouchent vs Bel Abbes tips and predictions

Visitors shouldn't threaten Temouchent

On 29 Ligue 2 points, third placed Temouchent host 13th placed Bel Abbes. With 12 points the visitors are someway off their rivals.

It won't be a great strategy to back these short-priced favourites but there's not a huge chance of an upset.

The advantages are certainly with Temouchent in this fixture. They are in much better form. The hosts have secured 10 home wins from their last 12 games. By contrast, the travelling side has suffered reverses in 14 of their recent 18 matches on the road. The stars are aligned for one more defeat here.

It could be the home side's defence that is the key to victory for them. They've been keeping things tight recently as they've not often been caught off-guard. They've conceded only 3 goals in their last 14 games. Add that to reports that the away side looks reluctant under pressure. On the road Bel Abbes have conceded two or more goals in all of their last 4 trips. On top of that, some parts of the attacking form shown by the visitors have been lacking quality; they have averaged just 0.6 goals in their last 16 matches.

It's felt that only one side is likely to score because of the favouritism for Temouchent. It doesn't look like the bet of the day but the Yes BTTS bet could be a fun little side bet.
