Preview
The Olympique Safi vs USM Alger prediction is on everyone’s mind as these two in-form sides prepare for their first-ever competitive meeting in the CAF Confederation Cup. With both teams fresh off opening group stage wins, anticipation is high for this encounter at Stade El Massira in Safi, Morocco, on November 28 at 19:00 GMT. Our preview breaks down the head to head, recent form, and betting tips for this intriguing contest.
Although this is the first official meeting between Safi and USMA, both clubs arrive in Group A with early momentum. Olympique Safi, led by new manager Zakaria Aboub, edged Djoliba 1-0 away in their opener thanks to Salaheddine Errahouli’s sharp finish. While their continental form impresses, their domestic record has been patchy—just one win in their last five, with a worrying ten goals conceded. At home, Safi have won two and lost three in their last five, underlining their inconsistency on familiar turf.
USM Alger, meanwhile, have enjoyed a steadier run. After a thrilling 3-2 home win against San Pedro to kick off their campaign, the Algerian giants have posted three wins and two draws in their last five across all competitions. Their away record is less spectacular—three draws in the last five—but they rarely get blown away, conceding just five in that span. With a squad valued at €8.45m, USMA hold a clear financial edge over Safi (€5.95m), which often translates to greater depth and experience at this level.
Both teams have navigated some injury worries, particularly USMA with Meziane’s fitness in question. Safi, on the other hand, appear to have a clean bill of health. With both sides likely to err on the side of caution, expect a tactical, hard-fought affair.
Now for the part most readers crave—the Olympique Safi vs USM Alger prediction from our AI analysts at NerdyTips. The bookmakers have this one tight, with odds of 2.5 for a home win, 3.0 for a draw, and 2.95 for an away success.

In summary, the Olympique Safi vs USM Alger prediction points towards a tactical battle, with both teams likely to prioritize avoiding defeat over chasing a win. For punters, the under 2.5 goals market and double chance on USMA look the smartest plays. This one could be decided by a single moment—or perhaps not at all.
