Prediction ES Mostaganem vs ES Ben Aknoun 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Ligue 1 on 20/11/2025

Match outlook: form, standings and the stakes in Mostaganem

ES Mostaganem limp into the Stade Commandant Ferradj on 20 November under real pressure. Sitting 15th in the table after 12 matches, a sequence of results that reads more like a corrective lesson than a campaign — several defeats, only two wins and three draws — leaves the hosts short on momentum. The recent 2-2 draw with USM Alger offered a flash of attacking promise but the broader picture is stubborn: just six goals scored across the season and a porous backline that has conceded 11. Confidence at home is fragile; the club’s form line underscores vulnerability and a need to steady nerves in front of a modest 10,000 crowd.

Opponents on the rise: ES Ben Aknoun bring consistency

By contrast ES Ben Aknoun arrive in a confident frame, occupying fourth place and unbeaten in stretches that show resilience. Over ten matches they’ve accumulated 16 points through four wins and four draws, and they travel with a more clinical edge — ten goals scored, a tighter defense and only two losses on the ledger. Recent fixtures include a 2-1 road win at ASO Chlef that speaks to their ability to finish chances away from home. Their away numbers show they can both find the net and close out results, and the 2023 H2H meeting — a 1-0 win for Ben Aknoun — adds a historical inkling that the visitors can get the job done on Mostaganem soil.

Tactical tendencies and statistical clues

The stats paint a clash defined by low scoring potential and contrasting momentum. Mostaganem’s season goals total is alarmingly low, while Ben Aknoun’s balanced record suggests control rather than flamboyance. Both teams have recorded three clean sheets apiece this campaign, indicating matches might tilt toward disciplined defensive displays. The BTTS indicators are mixed: home matches for Mostaganem show occurrences of both teams scoring, while Ben Aknoun’s away trends suggest they often contribute to goals on the road. Taken together, the game looks set for tight margins rather than a goal-fest.
