Preview: CRB Adrar vs. Tiaret (Interstat) — Ligue 2

ALGIERS, Algeria (Interstat) — CRB Adrar will host Tiaret on Saturday, April 25, 2026, in an Ligue 2 fixture that pits a team fighting to escape the bottom of the table against a visitor seeking to build on recent form.

The matchup at Stade de l’Unité Maghrébine carries significant weight for both sides. Tiaret enters the contest positioned in the upper half of the standings, while CRB Adrar remains entrenched near the relegation zone.

Tiaret arrives with momentum from a 1-1 draw Saturday, April 18, against RC Kouba. That result extended Tiaret’s run of narrow decisions. Prior to that, the team suffered a 3-0 loss at WA Mostaganem on April 9, following a scoreless draw at MC Saida on April 4. Tiaret’s season has been marked by low-scoring affairs. Since a 2-1 victory over GC Mascara on March 14, the team has managed one win in its last five matches, with a 1-0 defeat at USM El Harrach on March 28 and a 1-0 loss at ASM d’Oran on March 7.

CRB Adrar faces an uphill battle. The team lost 2-0 at RC Arbaa on April 18. That followed a 3-1 home defeat to NA Hussein Dey on April 10 and a 1-1 draw at WA Tlemcen on April 4. Defensive struggles have plagued Adrar throughout the campaign. The team has conceded at least three goals in five of its last eight matches, including a 5-0 loss to Jeun D’Elbiar on March 28 and a 5-2 defeat at ES Bechar Djedid on March 14. Offensively, the club has scored more than one goal in a game only twice this season.

The most recent head-to-head meeting, Dec. 19, 2025, saw Tiaret defeat CRB Adrar 3-1 on the road.
