Oran's run of five league games without conceding meets a promoted El Biar side fresh from a 4-2 win at Constantine.

Oran should edge it, and 2.5 for them to win is worth taking; no goals in the first half at 2.2 is the other price that holds up. Both teams to score – No at 1.57 and under 2.5 goals at 1.38 pay too little.

Context

Oran's 1-0 win over Khenchela on 17 October put them provisionally top of Ligue 1, with 10 points banked from the five rounds before it, the same tally as USM Alger and three behind CRB at that stage. That makes the visitors, not the promoted hosts, the side carrying a table position to defend in Dar El Beida. The caution is that the lead is narrow and explicitly provisional, and three of Oran's four league wins this season finished 1-0, so their standing rests on single-goal margins rather than dominance.
- Oran beat USM Khenchela 1-0 at the Miloud Hadefi stadium on 17 October 2026, the goal scored by Aziz Moulay from a Coumbassa pass.
- Ennahar reported that the win took Oran to the top of Ligue 1 provisionally, while other round-six matches were still to be played.
- After round five Oran had 10 points, level with USM Alger and three behind CRB on 13.

The 4-2 win at the Stade Chahid Hamlaoui ended Mondher Kebaier's tenure at CS Constantine, confirmed the next day, making it the standout result of El Biar's start to life in Ligue 1. It explains why the leaders should not treat the promoted hosts as a routine away win. The counterpoint is that El Biar had lost three of their previous five league games, including home defeats to CRB and Olympique Akbou, so the Constantine afternoon resembles a spike, and the fallout says as much about Constantine's internal turmoil as about El Biar's level.
- CS Constantine 2-4 JS El Biar at the Stade Chahid Hamlaoui on 17 October 2026, in round six.
- The same match coverage described El Biar as the newly promoted side.
- CS Constantine announced on Sunday 18 October that it had ended the contract of Tunisian coach Mondher Kebaier.

Mouaki scored after two minutes, added a second on 27 minutes and completed his hat-trick in first-half stoppage time, so El Biar led 4-1 at the interval through his three goals plus an Aribi penalty. For this fixture it matters because the promoted side's clearest route to points is early pressure, and Oran have not conceded in any of their last five league matches. The limit is the opponent: Constantine were already sliding, were beaten heavily and sacked their coach within a day, so a repeat against the division's meanest defence is not implied.
- Mouaki opened the scoring for El Biar after two minutes in Constantine.
- He scored his second on 27 minutes to make it 2-0 to the visitors.
- He completed his hat-trick with El Biar's fourth goal in first-half stoppage time (45+3).
- D. Mouaki started 2 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.

The ruling was posted on 20 October by an Oran supporter outlet as a photograph of the disciplinary committee's decision, with no names or sanctions in the accompanying text, so it cannot be read as a player suspension. It is retained because any disciplinary outcome from the Khenchela game would fall directly on selection for this trip, and the notice surfaced only three days before kickoff. Until the decision is published in readable form, the effect on the eleven is unknown rather than assumed.
- A post on 20 October 2026 relayed disciplinary committee sanctions imposed on Oran in relation to the USM Khenchela match.
- The notice was published as an image, and the accompanying text named neither players nor the sanctions themselves.
