Mouloudia d’Alger (MCA) finds itself in a precarious situation in Algeria’s top division, needing to secure survival for next season. Currently sitting 9th with 33 points after 25 matches, MCA is facing a local derby against USM Blida. The Mouloudia coach, Arthur Jorge, understands the gravity of the situation, stating that his team needs to raise their level to secure a victory.
