ASFA Yennega vs Bobo-Dioulasso Prediction: Hosts are the better side

The round 19 Burkina Premier League match between ASFA Yennega and Bobo-Dioulasso will take place at Stade du 4-Août. Given that both teams are battling relegation, the hosts hold a slight advantage in this matchup. What is your prediction for the outcome of this game?

ASFA Yennega faced challenges in their recent outing against Salitas, suffering a 1-0 defeat on the road with Mohamed Lamine Ouattara scoring the decisive goal in the 42nd minute. Examining their last five matches reveals a notable struggle for ASFA Yennega, having secured only one victory during this period, which came in a 2-1 encounter against Sonabel Ouagadougou. Additionally, they faced consecutive losses to ASEC Koudougou and managed a goalless draw against Sonabel Ouagadougou in another match.

Bobo-Dioulasso is currently experiencing a winless streak of four matches, and as they approach the upcoming fixture, the visiting team is eager for an improved outcome. In their recent outing against Sporting Cascades, Bobo-Dioulasso secured a 1-1 draw. Despite taking the lead at halftime with Banou Diawara's 30th-minute goal, Mohamed Diagabate equalized for Sporting Cascades in the 66th minute. It's noteworthy that Bobo-Dioulasso has suffered only one loss in their last four matches, which occurred against Vitesse, while they played to draws against Royal in both legs of their meetings.

Despite recent resilient performances by Bobo-Dioulasso, there is skepticism about relying on them in this match. Despite the potential motivation from their relegation threat, ASFA Yennega, being a formidable team, especially at home against lower-ranked opponents, is expected to emerge victorious. Additionally, considering the anticipated defensive style of play in this match, a wager on a low number of goals could also be considered.
