Skikda vs Lakhdaria tips and predictions

Confidence the likely key for Lakhdaria

On 2 points Skikda will welcome 3-point Lakhdaria. There's just 1 positions between the two clubs.

The four star gold bets covered in these previews have returned a profit of around 10% in the last few months, but this is a one star pick as there is just nothing wrong with the prices. An away win is picked and the rest of this preview explains why.

Lakhdaria have plenty of reasons to think they can win. Their odds aren't giving anything away though. They won't underestimate the home side but they can come through this one. Genuine shots on target will likely be rare in a well-fought contest.

On the back of some abject outings, the hosts will be looking for a change in attitude. Skikda haven't made life easy for themselves, having lost 17 of their last 20 matches. Some of those losses have been characterised by a lack of goals. They've slotted only 2 goals in their latest 18 games. Even if they face a depleted side those numbers might not be enough.

Lakhdaria have delivered some performances of note. They've scored at least once in all of their last 3 away matches which is a statistic they will want to build on here. If the visitors get off to a confident start they should be the side celebrating at the final whistle. Conceding an average of just 0.7 goals across their latest 18 games could have an impact on this game. They've been keeping things tidy at the back.

Looking beyond the 1X2, the BTTS No is the recommendation but it comes with a pretty poor rating.
