Constantine have won both league home games without conceding, while El Biar have one league win and a single away point.

Constantine are the likelier winners, but 1.60 asks for more than this evidence supports, and neither the 3.40 draw nor 1.53 on under 2.5 goals is worthwhile. Over 2.5 goals and both teams to score, each at 2.30, are the two prices that do hold up.

Context

Constantine's league season so far has been built entirely on their own ground.
Constantine's two league home wins produced seven goals and none conceded, 4-0 against US Biskra on 7 October and 3-0 against ASO Chlef on 12 September. Away from home the same five-game league record shows one draw and two defeats, 1-1 at Témouchent, 1-5 at ES Sétif and 0-2 at Khenchela. The split makes home fixtures the likeliest place for their better football, with the away numbers the fair counterweight.
- CS Constantine's 2026 Ligue 1 record after five games: 2 wins, 1 draw, 2 defeats, 7 points, 6th place (standings fetched 15 October 2026).
- Home split: 2 played, 2 wins, 7 goals scored, 0 conceded, including 4-0 v US Biskra on 7 October 2026 and 3-0 v ASO Chlef on 12 September 2026.
- Away split: 3 played, 0 wins, 1 draw, 2 defeats, 2 goals scored, 8 conceded.
The round-six league game is set for CS Constantine's Stade Mohamed-Hamlaoui, keeping the hosts on their own ground against JS El Biar. Home matches at the Hamlaoui give CS Constantine familiar conditions, while the visitors from the Algiers area make the trip east to Constantine. This is a venue and scheduling fact rather than a change in form or squad availability for either side.
- The round 6 Ligue 1 match between CS Constantine and JS El Biar is scheduled for Saturday 17 October 2026.
- The fixture is listed at Stade Mohamed-Hamlaoui in Constantine.

CS Constantine will be led in this round-six home fixture by Kebaïer, the Tunisian coach working with the club through October 2026. The salary ranking places his pay among the highest in the Algerian top flight, underlining the investment around a foreign coaching team at the club. That figure is a financial comparison rather than a football change: it does not show an appointment, departure, tactical switch or selection decision that would directly affect the JS El Biar match.
- Mondher Kebaïer is the head coach of CS Constantine as of October 2026.
- An October 2026 ranking of Algerian top-flight coaching salaries placed him fifth on about €28,000 a month.

Chikhi, a CS Constantine outfield player, scored five seconds into the league game at ES Sétif on 19 September, the quickest goal on record in the Algerian top flight. The milestone attaches to the home squad for this round-six fixture and gives the meeting with JS El Biar a record to note. It is one moment rather than a run of scoring form, and the same match ended in a 5-1 defeat.
- Abdelmoumen Chikhi scored for CS Constantine five seconds into the league match at ES Sétif on 19 September 2026.
- The goal is the fastest in the history of the Algerian league.
- A. Chikhi started 5 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.
