USM Blida - ESM Kolea prediction 9 October 2026

The USM Blida vs ESM Kolea prediction for the Ligue 2 match on October 9, 2026, points to a home victory. Based on the latest odds and team form, USM Blida are the clear favorites with a 58% win probability, while ESM Kolea face an uphill battle at just 10%.

Team Form

USM Blida come into this match unbeaten in their last five outings (W3 D2). They drew 1-1 away at GC Mascara, thrashed Irb Sidi M Hamed Benali 3-1 at home, and secured a 2-1 win at ES Mostaganem. A 1-0 cup victory over RC Arbaa and a goalless draw with the same opponent in the league complete a solid run.

ESM Kolea, in contrast, have struggled. Their last five results read W1 D1 L3. A 1-0 home win against MC El Bayadh and a 0-0 draw at RC Arbaa are the only bright spots. Heavy defeats to Kouba (0-3), Hussein Dey (1-3), and Tlemcen (0-2) highlight defensive frailties, especially on the road.

Head-to-Head Record

There is no head-to-head history between USM Blida and ESM Kolea. This will be the first competitive meeting between the two sides.
