Ligue 1

The Ligue 1 title race could not be any tighter: MC Oran and CR Belouizdad are locked together on 13 points at the summit. MC Oran have yet to lose in five outings, which is title-winning consistency.

On current form, USM Alger are the side to fear: their last five read WLWWD, worth 10 points, and they sit 3rd. JS El Biar lead the way for goals with 12 goals in six games. At the other end, MC Oran have the meanest defence, yet to concede in five games. Ligue 1 defences are on top: 2.2 goals per game is a low return, and it favours the under markets.

Every gap and goal difference is in the full Ligue 1 table, and our Ligue 1 predictions cover the next round of fixtures.

Circle JS El Biar vs MC Oran on Friday 23 October: 6th meets 1st, and the result could reshape the top of the table.
