Prediction MB Rouissat vs ES Ben Aknoun 2025/2026 – Betting Tips for the Ligue 1 on 16/10/2025

Match outlook: tight affair expected in Ligue 1 clash

MB Rouissat welcome ES Ben Aknoun in what shapes up to be a cagey, competitive Ligue 1 encounter on October 16, 2025. Rouissat sit proudly in second place after seven matches, collecting 12 points from a run of three wins, three draws and only one loss, while Ben Aknoun occupy seventh with nine points from six games. The numbers point to two sides who know how to grind results and who have been hard to break down at times — a recipe for a close scoreline.

Form and mechanics: defensive edge for the hosts, danger on the break for visitors

Rouissat’s recent results show a team capable of nicking results and holding shape. Their last five include a notable 3-0 home win over ES Sétif and a 1-1 draw with top opposition CR Belouizdad. Home data underlines their defensive discipline — just one goal conceded at home so far and two clean sheets recorded — while averaging 11.29 shots per game, with 79 total efforts across the campaign. That defensive solidity has been crucial to their second-place standing.

Ben Aknoun arrive with momentum of their own, unbeaten in several fixtures and boasting a recent victory away at MC El Bayadh. Their attacking numbers suggest a team that creates plenty: an average of 82.33 attacks and 55.5 dangerous attacks per match, though their goal returns remain modest. On the road they have found the net four times but have also shipped four away goals, indicating attacking intent but some vulnerability at the back.

Against that backdrop, both teams have produced relatively few high-scoring affairs this season. Over 2.5 goals has not been a frequent occurrence for either side, and head-to-head history is absent, making current form and underlying stats the best guide. Rouissat’s home fortress and disciplined approach are likely to blunt Ben Aknoun’s forward thrusts, while the visitors will aim to exploit transitional moments and set-piece chances.

Prediction and betting advice

Expect a low to medium-scoring contest where chances will be at a premium and defensive organization will decide the outcome. The data points — limited over-2.5 frequency for both sides, a host who has conceded just once at home, and evenly spread attacking returns — argue for a cautious goals market.

Betting suggestion: Goal market — Under 2.5 goals. The numbers favor a tight match with one or two goals deciding it.
