Recap
Hussein Dey will travel significantly weakened, as three regular starters are unavailable for this fixture. Among them is captain Harrag, who reportedly declined to make the trip following a dispute with sections of the supporters. The absences of starting right-back Berouba and striker El-Azaoui further diminish both their defensive stability and attacking threat.
In contrast, ASM Oran have established themselves as a formidable side on home soil, posting an impressive 5-3-1 record while conceding just three goals in the process. Their defensive solidity, combined with the visitors internal issues and depleted squad, positions ASM Oran in a good position to secure all three points.
