CS Constantine's recent fixtures have completely abandoned defensive solidity, with their last four matches generating an incredible 19 total goals. That lack of control was glaring in their recent 5-3 defeat to Paradou.

USM Khenchela arrives with an equally open profile, having seen three or more goals in seven of their last eight league outings. Their away form remains particularly fragile, conceding three times in recent trips to both JS Saoura and CR Belouizdad.

Both clubs sit safely in mid-table and out of the relegation picture, removing the survival pressure that usually tightens late-season matches. This lack of stakes typically encourages a more relaxed, attack-minded approach.

The visitors consistently find the net even in defeat, scoring in tough away environments against top-half sides like MC Alger and CR Belouizdad. They carry enough attacking threat to contribute to the total and push the tempo.

Backing goals provides the most reliable read on a fixture where neither backline has shown the concentration required to dictate a low-scoring rhythm. The defensive vulnerabilities on display make a clean sheet highly unlikely for either side.
