JS Kabylie vs Setif Prediction 12.06.2025 | Ligue Professionnelle 1

• Competition: Algeria - Ligue Professionnelle 1
• Date: Thursday, 12th, June 2025
• Kickoff: 21:00 UK / 22:00 CEST
• Venue: Hocine Ait Ahmed Stadium (Tizi Ouzou)

This Thursday, JS Kabylie will battle to keep their title challenge going as they take on the uninspired Setif at Hocine Ait Ahmed Stadium in the Algerian Ligue 1.

The team coached by Josef Zinnbauer remains firmly in the title race after coming from a goal down to thrash relegation-threatened Magra side 3-1 on the road, taking full advantage of the leader's slip-up to cut the gap to four points with just three rounds left.

Setif's plans of reaching third position, which guarantees an African Confederation Cup spot, have clearly slipped away after they disappointed their home crowd with a frustrating 1-0 loss to lower-ranked Khenchela, stretching the gap to the top three to an unattainable ten points.

JS Kabylie vs Setif Betting Tips : JS KABYLIE TO WIN

Backing the home side seems like the logical choice in this one. Looking at their last five league fixtures, JS Kabylie stands out as the team in the best form after racking up an impressive 12 points during that stretch, so they will be aiming for another three-point haul to keep their grip tight on the title race. With a four-point gap behind the league leaders, the Canaries from Tizi Ouzou cannot afford any slip-ups in Thursday’s clash, and the odds look favorable for them to get all three points as they face a Setif side who have the second-lowest points accumulation in their past five outings, picking up a paltry four points in that time. Furthermore, Les Aigles Noirs have been beaten in three matches in succession and it looks like their black streak might deepen as their ambitions for the rest of the season have all but vanished so we feel the in-form JS Kabylie will be able to take advantage of their visitors' poor momentum and boost their title chase with a crucial win.
