CHLEF, Algeria (Interstat) — MCB Oued Sly hosts Widad Adabi (WA Boufarik) on Sunday, May 10, 2026, at Stade Maâmar Sahli in a Week 17 matchup of Algeria’s Ligue 2. Kickoff time has not been announced.

Oued Sly enters the game looking to build momentum after a scoreless draw against GC Mascara on Friday, May 16, 2025. That result kept the club in the middle of the second-tier table but highlighted persistent scoring struggles. The squad has had more than a year to address those issues ahead of this spring fixture.

Widad Adabi, commonly known as WA Boufarik, played its most recent match on Saturday, June 1, 2024, falling 2-1 at ASM Oran. That loss extended a difficult run for the visiting side, which is seeking consistency on the road.

The matchup carries added weight because it marks the first meeting between these two clubs in the 2025-26 Ligue 2 campaign. Both teams are expected to contend for promotion or survival as the season reaches its second half.

Statistical projections offer conflicting outlooks. Interstat’s game simulator forecasts a 1-0 victory for WA Boufarik, suggesting Oued Sly’s home advantage may not be decisive. However, Interstat’s ELO system gives Oued Sly a 67.80 percent probability to win, reflecting the host’s overall strength and the statistical weight of playing on familiar turf.

Oued Sly will rely on its defense to maintain the clean-sheet form shown in the draw with GC Mascara. The back line, anchored by experienced central defenders, will face a WA Boufarik attack that managed just one goal in its last outing. The visitors, meanwhile, will look to exploit any lapses from a home side that has struggled to generate offense.

The match is part of Ligue 2’s regular season, with each team aiming to improve its position ahead of the final stretch. A win for Oued Sly could push it into the top half of the standings, while WA Boufarik needs points to avoid slipping toward the relegation zone.

Fans can expect a tense, tactical contest at Stade Maâmar Sahli, where crowd support may play a role. Weather conditions for early May in Chlef typically include moderate temperatures and clear skies, favorable for football.

The game will be the 17th of 30 matchdays in the Ligue 2 season. Further details, including referee assignments and broadcast information, are expected closer to game day.
