Preview
When CS Constantine vs US Biskra kicks off at Stade Mohamed-Hamlaoui on May 18, 2025, the hosts will be looking to capitalize on their superior squad value (€7.03m vs. Biskra’s €3.97m) and recent momentum. The betting odds heavily favor Constantine (1.36 for a home win), but football—especially in Ligue 1—has a habit of throwing surprises. Let’s break down why this match might follow the script… or defy it.
CS Constantine’s last outing was a eyebrow-raising 1-0 away win over ES Setif, defying betting odds of 5.0. Meanwhile, US Biskra scraped a gritty 1-1 draw at ASO Chlef as 6.3 underdogs. These results add intrigue to this fixture, especially since their last head to head in January 2024 ended 1-1—a game where Constantine were 1.3 favorites but couldn’t seal the deal.
Ligue 1’s stats paint a cautious picture for total goals enthusiasts:
Given Constantine’s pragmatic style and Biskra’s recent low-scoring grind, the AI leans toward under 2.5 goals (1.69 odds, trust score 6.2). A NG (no goal from one team) bet at 1.51 (confidence 7.5/10) also stands out—Biskra failed to score in 3 of their last 5 away games.
The safest pick? A CS Constantine win (1.36 odds, trust score 6.4). They’re stronger on paper, at home, and riding momentum. However, don’t expect a rout. Biskra’s compact defending could make this a slow burn, echoing their recent head to head stalemate.
A tight first half (0-0 at HT) followed by a second-half breakthrough fits both teams’ profiles. Constantine’s quality should edge it, but this won’t be a classic for the neutrals. For bettors, though, it’s a goldmine of low-risk, high-reward opportunities.
