ALGIERS, Algeria (Interstat) — HB Chelgoum Laid will host Khemis El Khechna on Saturday, May 2, in an Algerian Ligue 2 matchup, with both teams coming off victories but carrying sharply contrasting recent forms.

Khemis El Khechna enters the match after a 1-0 win at RB Ouargla on Friday, May 1. That result ended a four-match winless streak for the visitors, who have compiled a 3-2-6 record over their previous 11 matches. The team’s season has been marked by inconsistency, with narrow wins against NC Magra (2-1 on April 21) and Jeun Menaiel (1-0 on March 6) offset by heavy defeats, including a 3-0 loss at US Chaouia (April 17) and a 2-0 loss at Beni Oulbane (March 14). Khemis El Khechna has also produced three draws in that span, including a 1-1 result at AS Khroub on April 4 and a scoreless draw with MO Constantine on Feb. 7.

HB Chelgoum Laid also won Friday, edging Olympique Magrane 1-0. However, that victory stands as a rare bright spot in a dismal season. Over their previous 11 matches, the home side has posted a 1-10-0 record. The team has been outscored 35-4 in that stretch, including a 6-0 loss at US Biskra (April 21), an 8-0 home defeat to US Chaouia (March 27) and a 5-0 loss at Teleghma (Feb. 7). The only win in that span, aside from Friday’s result, came Jan. 24 (Interstat) — a 1-5 loss at MO Bejaia that was technically a defeat.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw. The company’s ELO system gives Khemis El Khechna a 53.40 percent probability to win.

Saturday’s match is scheduled for 3 p.m. local time.
