Fourth in Ligue 1 Mobilis with ten points, JS Kabylie, the club of player Aïssa Aït Chekhdidh, travel to Khenchela this Saturday 24 October for matchday 7, with the chance to break into the top 3.
The Canaris of JSK are coming off a home demolition job, 4-1 against US Biskra. They travel this Saturday 24 October 2026 to the home of USM Khenchela for matchday 7 of the Algerian Mobilis championship, according to Foot-Africa.com.
The match is played at the Hamam-Amar stadium, with kick-off set for 15:00 Algerian time (14:00 GMT) and live online coverage by TV Web Sport (EPTV). The report lists Aïssa Aït Chekhdidh as a player involved in this fixture, without specifying his role.
Top 3 within boot’s reach
In the table, JS Kabylie sit 4th with 10 points, with a game in hand. Under head coach Karim Belhocine, the club can break into the top 3 of the Algerian top flight with a win, according to Foot-Africa.com.
An away success would therefore allow Karim Belhocine’s men to reach the podium, and it is the three points of Khenchela that are at stake.
Khenchela, an inconsistent host
Opposite them, USM Khenchela occupy 12th place with 5 points. The Khenchelis are coming off a 1-0 defeat away to MC Oran on the previous matchday, after beating CS Constantine 2-0 at home.
This run of results illustrates the club’s inconsistency: capable of beating CSC on their own patch, they fell at Oran. JSK will need to be wary of a team that knows how to make its presence felt at home.
An away trip against a struggling side
The match pits two different dynamics against each other: a Kabyle side fresh from a 4-1 win over Biskra, and a host lying 12th. Kick-off is set for 15:00 local time, with online coverage provided by TV Web Sport (EPTV), according to Foot-Africa.com.
For JS Kabylie, the stakes go beyond matchday 7 alone: a win would put them in the leading trio and confirm the form they showed against Biskra.
