Based on recent form and head-to-head results, Khenchela is positioned as the favorite to secure at least a draw or better, continuing their dominance in recent meetings.

Historically, Khenchela has been the more successful side against El Bayadh, winning 60% of their last encounters, including recent victories away at Stade Zakaria Medjdoub. El Bayadh's last win was on their home turf in 2022, but Khenchela's overall dominance gives them the edge.
