AS Denguele vs Academie de FAD Prediction: A win for the hosts is certain

This contest marks the first occasion for AS Denguele and Academie de FAD to engage in a league match this year, with Stade El🃏 Hadj Mamadou Coulibaly serving as the host venue. In their previous league encounter, thꦿe hosts successfully halted Academie de FAD's streak of three consecutive wins in this fixture. Let's delve into a comprehensive preview in the following sections and explore potential betting opportunities.

AS Denguele concluded the previous year with a hard-fought 1-0 victory over Stella Adjame, narrowing the league gap to just one point behind Racing d’Abidjan. The crucial goal in that match came from a penalty converted by Armand Sie for AS Denguele. However, a glance at AS Denguele's recent matches leading up to that encounter revealed a 3-2 defeat against Zoman on the road and draws against SO Armee and Stade d’Abidjan, both finishing 1-1. Notably, in another match against SOL, they secured an emphatic 4-1 win. In the current season, AS Denguele has accumulated 39 points from 15 league matches, mirroring the tally of the 3rd-placed Zoman. They have scored 23 goals and conceded 16 during this period.

In their last outing before the AFCON break, Academie de FAD secured a victory over third-placed Zoman at home, with a 1-0 scoreline. Alain Kore's goal from the penalty spot proved to be the decisive factor, earning Academie de FAD all three points. However, their unbeaten streak of four matches came to an end in the preceding encounter, as they suffered a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Stella Adjame on the road. Notably, the unbeaten run comprised only one league win against Stade d’Abidjan, while the remaining matches concluded in draws with SO Armee, Sporting Gagnoa, and SOL.

As they enter the upcoming match, the visiting team holds 15 points from 15 league matches this season, averaging one point per game and currently occupying t𒀰he 12th🎐 position in the league standings.

I believe luck may favor AS Denguélé in this crucial match where they desperately need a win. However, considering Academie de FAD's historical threat in this fixture, I anticipate a spirited fight from them. It's noteworthy that Academie de FAD has only suffered two losses in the last 11 encounters against AS Denguele. Therefore, a reasonable betting approach could be to wager on the hosts scoring twice, with boꦅth teams finding the back of the net.
