ASM Oran and USM Alger Face Crucial Battle for Survival
This Saturday, ASM Oran and USM Alger will meet in a highly anticipated clash, as both teams fight for survival in Algerian Ligue 1. With 38 points each, the two clubs are locked in a tight race to avoid relegation, and a victory in this encounter will be critical for both sides.
Bouhedda Seddik, the goalkeeper of ASM Oran, expressed the team’s confidence following a morale-boosting draw in the previous derby against Mouloudia. He stated, “We are very calm, and the point from the draw we got in the previous derby against Mouloudia did us a lot of good mentally. All the players are aware of the task ahead of them, and we will do everything to win our next match against USM Alger and ensure once and for all our survival among the elite.”
Despite the draw, ASM Oran remains in a precarious position, not yet guaranteed safety. Seddik emphasized, “The task will not be easy at all against USMA, who, despite their results, have a good team and are capable of creating a lot of problems for us.”
However, Seddik remains resolute: “All the players are determined to give their all to overcome the obstacle of USMA this weekend. We know what awaits us this Saturday and we will spare no effort to win this match and achieve our objective, which is to remain among the elite.”
He also called on fans to support the team: “I ask our fans to come en masse to the stadium this Saturday to encourage us, and we promise to do everything to please them and give them victory, Inch’Allah.”
The stakes could not be higher for both sides, with a potential relegation on the line and the chance to secure a place in the top flight for another season. The match promises to be a fierce, emotionally charged encounter.
