Recreativo do Libolo vs Petro de Luanda Prediction: Both teams are in top form

This particular round of fixtures in the Angola Girabola League features a matchup between Recreativo do Libolo and Petro de Luanda. Both teams have been performing really well as of late, and they will now want to continue from where they left off in order to secure another victory.

Three of Recreativo do Libolo's previous games against Drago, Isaac de Benguela, and Sporting de Benguela ended in wins for the team. Two of Recreativo do Libolo's previous matches, however, were tied against Desportivo Hula and Sporting de Cabinda. During those matches, Recreativo do Libolo was able to score eight goals while only allowing two to be scored against them. During the current league season, Recreativo do Libolo has scored 0.95 goals on average in every game they have played. In terms of disciplinary action, the away team was given 1 red card and 4 yellow cards during their match at home. Recreativo do Libolo, for whatever reason, is unable to keep possession of the ball, as evidenced by their season-long average of only 40.50% possession.

Petro de Luanda comes into this match having won four of their most recent five matches. These victories came against Cubango, Wiliete, Santa Rita, and CD Lunda-Sul. Their match against Onze Bravos ended in a draw. Throughout those games, the away team scored eight goals while only allowing three to be scored against them. Petro de Luanda scored an average of 1.94 goals per game when playing away from home and allowed an average of 0.53 goals to be scored against them. The ball possession percentage for Petro de Luanda in the current season stands at a very respectable 57.67% on average across the board.

The two teams are now playing at a high level, having success winning matches, and playing very well both defensively and offensively. However, the team that is traveling from Petro Luanda is a lot stronger than the one that is representing Recreativo do Libolo, and I anticipate that they will prevail. Even though I believe Recreativo do Libolo will make a lot of defensive moves, I think they will do well to limit the number of goals they allow their opponents to score, even though it will be quite challenging for them to score themselves.
