Ligue 1 Mobilis Football: Upcoming Matchday Overview
After a two-week hiatus due to international fixtures, Ligue 1 Mobilis will resume with its 28th matchday on Wednesday and Thursday, highlighting critical battles for both the title and avoidance of relegation.
Title Race
Leading the league, MC Alger, with 53 points, will aim for a significant step towards another national title as they host ES Mostaganem, who sits in 13th place with 30 points. The Algerians are currently riding a six-match unbeaten streak and recently drew 0-0 against JS Saoura. However, they must remain cautious against Mostaganem, a team showing improvement, having accrued 8 points in their last four matches.
Mostaganem will also engage in a tense relegation battle alongside other threatened clubs: Olympique Akbou (13th, 30 pts), USM Khenchela (12th, 31 pts), and NC Magra (15th, 27 pts). Both Akbou and Khenchela will play at home—Akbou against US Biskra (16th, 20 pts), officially relegated, and Khenchela facing USM Alger (7th, 37 pts), who are preoccupied with an upcoming Cup final. Meanwhile, Magra faces a challenging away fixture against Paradou AC (4th, 38 pts), who are vying to secure a top-four finish.
As the matchday unfolds, the identity of the second team relegated to amateur Ligue 2 may emerge.
Champions League Aspirations
In the upper tier of the standings, JS Kabylie (2nd, 49 pts) cannot afford to drop points if they wish to secure a Champions League qualifying position. They will host ES Sétif (5th, 38 pts), who is struggling with three consecutive losses. JS Kabylie is not alone in their pursuit of a Champions League spot, as CR Belouizdad (3rd, 48 pts) will travel to Constantine to take on CSC (4th, 38 pts), who have remained unbeaten since a May loss to USM Alger.
Mid-Table Dynamics
USM Alger (7th, 37 pts) has faced a challenging period, winning only once in their last eight league matches. They will visit USMK, a team desperate for victory to escape the relegation zone. This crucial encounter will take place behind closed doors.
In the mid-table, MCE El-Bayadh (8th, 36 pts) heads to Oran to meet MCO (10th, 34 pts), where the home side needs a win to ensure their survival in the league after a disappointing season.
Lastly, JS Saoura (8th, 36 pts) will travel to Chlef to face ASO (11th, 33 pts), a match that could help Saoura assure their survival before facing the league leaders in the penultimate round of the competition.
Conclusion
This pivotal matchday not only holds potential for shifts in title race standings but also drama in the fight against relegation, promising an exciting return to Ligue 1 action.
