Prediction ES Sétif vs JS Kabylie 2025/2026 season – Betting Tips for the Ligue 1 on 13/11/2025

Preview: Sétif hosts a hungry Kabylie side at Stade du 8 Mai 1945

ES Sétif welcome JS Kabylie to Sétif on 13 November as the Algerian Ligue 1 heads into round 13. The home side sit 12th with ten matches played, a record of two wins, five draws and three defeats and a modest return of 11 points. Their recent run reads as a mix of stubborn draws and the odd reversal: a 1-1 draw with Olympique Akbou and a narrow 1-0 victory at ES Ben Aknoun reflect a team that fights hard at home but lacks cutting edge — nine goals scored against thirteen conceded this campaign. The venue, Stade du 8 Mai 1945, will be busy and vocal with a 25,000 capacity that has seen Sétif grind out results but only one clean sheet so far this season.

JS Kabylie arrive in better shape up the table in sixth, boasting more convincing attacking numbers and a string of positive results. With nine matches recorded so far the visitors have won four, drawn three and lost twice, netting 11 while letting in eight. Their form line is impressive: eight wins, one draw and a single loss across the latest ten outings, although they did suffer a recent 1-0 defeat away to CS Constantine on 9 November. Historically, the last meeting in June ended 2-0 in favour of JS Kabylie, a reminder that they can impose themselves on Sétif when the rhythm is right.

Tactical and statistical angle

Statistically this looks like a match that could see both teams contributing on the scoresheet. ES Sétif’s home matches have featured BTTS in 71.4% of their games, while JS Kabylie’s away fixtures have BTTS in 75% — strong indicators that both attacks and occasional defensive lapses could combine for goals at either end. Neither team is a prolific over-2.5 scorer this season — over 2.5 matches hover around the 30–33% mark — which suggests measured scoring rather than a goal avalanche, but the frequency of both teams scoring makes for an enticing mid-line goals market.

The safest single-market pick from the available options is a 1X2 selection: back JS Kabylie to win.
