The highly anticipated clash between CR Belouizdad and MC El Bayadh, originally scheduled for Saturday, October 12, as part of the 4th round of Algeria’s Ligue 1, has been rescheduled. According to the latest updates, the match will now take place on Monday, October 14, with both the date and venue altered.
The encounter, initially set to be held at the Nelson Mandela Stadium in Baraki, has been moved to the July 5, 1962 Stadium in Algiers. Kick-off is scheduled for 6:45 p.m. UT.
This postponement comes at a crucial time for CR Belouizdad, who have yet to secure their first win of the season.
The club has drawn each of its opening three matches, leaving them in need of a positive result to kickstart their campaign.
Despite their struggles, Belouizdad remains determined to find form, especially in front of their home supporters in a different venue.
On the other side, MC El Bayadh enters the match in an even more difficult position. The team has suffered three consecutive 1-0 defeats, losing to USM Alger, US Biskra, and Entente de Sétif.
With zero points on the board, El Bayadh will be desperate to break their losing streak and register their first points of the season.
This change of schedule and venue adds another layer of complexity for both teams as they look to turn their fortunes around.
For CR Belouizdad, playing at the iconic July 5 Stadium may offer a fresh start, while MC El Bayadh will be hoping to capitalize on the disruptions to their opponent’s preparations.
The match now holds even greater significance for both sides, as they seek to climb the league table and find momentum in the early stages of the season.
With the pressure mounting on both managers, the contest promises to be a fiercely competitive one, with both teams eager to claim all three points.
Football fans across Algeria will be watching closely as two struggling sides face off under the lights of the capital’s famous stadium.
