Prediction MC El Bayadh vs MC Oran 2025/2026 season – Betting Tips for the Ligue 1 on 16/10/2025

Form lines and mood ahead of kick-off

MC El Bayadh arrive at this fixture under real pressure. Sitting 15th in the Ligue 1 table with just three points from seven games, their campaign reads like a defensive warning: four losses, three draws, and zero wins. Recent results are blunt — a 2-1 reversal to ES Ben Aknoun on October 4 continued a sequence of drawn and losing performances that has left them with only four goals scored but ten conceded across the campaign. That ratio underlines the core problem: chances are scarce and the ones they give away tend to stick.

MC Oran, by contrast, have been steadier. Sixth in the standings with ten points from seven matches and a more attacking output — nine goals scored and eight conceded — they have the clearer momentum in direct terms. Their September run included wins over Paradou AC and JS Kabylie, demonstrating they can produce results against quality opposition. A setback came recently with a 2-0 defeat to USM Khenchela, but overall the visitors display a record that blends wins and scoring ability more consistently than their hosts.

Tactical snapshot from the numbers

The stats paint a vivid picture of what to expect. MC El Bayadh’s matches have often been open at home; their home data points to a high frequency of both teams finding the net. Meanwhile MC Oran combine a decent shots-on-target count with two clean sheets already this season, suggesting they can be disciplined defensively when required. Historically, the most recent league meeting between these sides produced goals — a 3-2 result — so there is precedent for an open contest.

Attacking pressure also favors the away side. MC Oran’s average of attacks and shots indicate they will probe MC El Bayadh’s leaky rearguard, and the visitors’ ability to find the net across multiple fixtures gives them an edge. The hosts, while capable of forcing goalmouth action, lack a winning touch and have struggled to convert opportunities into points.

Verdict and betting suggestion

On balance this reads as a match where MC Oran should be the team to take advantage. The away side’s superior recent form, better goal return, and the hosts’ winless run combine to make an away victory the most logical outcome. Backing MC Oran to win in the 1X2 market is the clearest play from the available data. Betting suggestion: 1X2 — MC Oran to win.
