Teleghma vs AS Khroub

ALGIERS, Algeria (Interstat) — Teleghma hosts AS Khroub on Tuesday in an Algerian Ligue 2 match, with both teams looking to reverse recent slumps.

Teleghma enters the match at home after a 1-0 loss to Aïn M’lila on April 28, its fifth defeat in seven matches. The club has lost six of its last 10 games overall, including a 4-0 rout by MO Bejaia on April 4 and a 4-1 loss to JS Djidjel on March 27. Teleghma’s lone win in that span came Feb. 7, a 5-0 thrashing of HB Chelgoum Laid. The team has managed only two clean sheets in its last 15 games and has been held scoreless in five of its past eight outings.

AS Khroub is also struggling, coming off a 1-0 loss at El Eulma on Friday. The visiting side has lost four of its last five matches, with the exception a 3-0 victory over HB Chelgoum Laid on April 10. AS Khroub’s offensive production has been inconsistent; it has been shut out in seven of its last 11 games while posting draws against JS Djidjel (1-1, April 17) and Khemis El Khechna (1-1, April 4). The team’s sole win in the past two months came against Beni Oulbane (2-1, Feb. 7).

In the most recent head-to-head meeting, AS Khroub defeated Teleghma 1-0 on Jan. 2. The Interstat game simulator projects a 1-1 draw Tuesday.

Teleghma next faces MC Alger on May 30 in a domestic cup match. AS Khroub plays CRB Hennaya on the same date in the Coupe Nationale.
