The 10th day of the Ligue 2 Amateur Football Championship, scheduled for Friday and Saturday, should be favorable to the leaders of the two pools, AS Khroub (Center-East) and ES Mostaganem (Center-West), who will play away against opponents at the bottom of the table, JSM Skikda and WA Tlemcen.
Scheduled for Friday (3:00 p.m.), the 10th day of the Center-East group will be marked by the seemingly easy move of the leader, AS Khroub (21 pts) to the penultimate JSM Skikda (5 pts). US Souf (2nd, 18 pts) will go to USM Annaba (3rd, 15 pts) in an undecided opposition between two teams aiming for accession.
If USM Annaba missed the opportunity to catch up with the leading duo the previous day by drawing against AS Ain M’lila (1-1), US Souf beat USM El Harrach (2-1) and approaches this poster with better confidence.
For its part, NRB Teleghma (3rd, 15 pts) will host CA Batna (12th, 9 pts) with the firm intention of staying in contact with the leading pack, as well as E Sour Ghozlane (5th, 14 pts) in trip to IRB Ouargla (12th, 9 pts).
This day will also be dominated by the opposition pitting MO Constantine (5th, 14 pts) against JS Bordj Menaiel (7th, 13 pts). The Constantinois in verve during the last five days with a record of three wins, a draw and a defeat, will leave with the favors of the predictions against the Poppies, in the grip of financial difficulties and who are struggling to repeat the performances of last season.
In the middle of the table, US Chaouia (8th, 12 pts) will make a perilous trip to IB Khemis El Khechna (9th, 10 pts), while USM El Harrach under the leadership of Mounir Zeghdoud (10 pts) will host AS Ain M’lila (14th, 8 pts), with the aim of returning to success.
The last meeting of the Center-East group will pit MC El-Eulma (9th, 10 pts) against the red lantern HAMRA Annaba (3 pts).
Center-West Group: ES Mostaganem to extend their invincibility
In the Center-West pool, whose meetings are scheduled for Saturday (3:00 p.m.), ES Mostaganem (1st, 25 pts) will try to extend their unbeaten streak (8 wins, 1 draw) during their trip at WA Tlemcen (10th, 9 pts), training in difficulty since the start of the season.
The dolphin of the ESM, ES Ben Aknoun (2nd, 20 pts) will, for its part, be the test of JSM Tiaret (3rd, 18 pts) in a balanced opposition which will be played without an audience. Winners on the road against ASM Oran (2-1) the previous day, the Etoile players will be aiming for a sixth victory in a row which would allow them to confirm their status as a serious candidate for accession.
Also victorious on the road against CR Témouchent (2-1), the JSMT will have the opportunity to steal second place in the ESBA ranking.
Third tied with the JSMT, the MCB Oued Sly will evolve on velvet by welcoming the MC Saida (13th, 7 pts), with the firm ambition to continue with a new victory after that obtained in Médéa.
Big loser of the previous day, SC Mecheria (5th, 17 pts) will be keen to return to success by receiving NA Hussein-Dey (13th, 7 pts), to get back to the front runners, while CR Témouchent (6th, 15 pts) will be opposed to ASM Oran (15th, 5 pts).
In the middle of the table, WA Boufarik (7th, 13 pts), will be on appeal at SKAF Khemis Miliana (9th, 10 pts), at the same time GC Mascara (10th, 9 pts) will host the red lantern, RC Relizane, in a six-point game.
The last meeting of the 10th day will pit RC Kouba (10th, 9 pts) against O Médéa (8th, 11 pts), an opportunity for Yahia Cherif’s teammates to chain a second success after that obtained against the GC Mascara, to get out of the turbulence zone.
