Brera Tchumene vs Ferroviario Maputo Prediction: The road team is the better side

In round 19 of the Mozambique Mocambola Championship, Brera Tchumene will welcome Ferroviario Maputo to Estádio da Matola. Heading into this Monday fixture, the first leg of this game ended in a goalless draw. Will there be a winner in this game?

Brera Tchumene were defeated the previous time out against the Black Bulls and will look to right their wrongs here. In that encounter, Brera Tchumene took the lead through Anacleto's strike in the 18th minute but conceded twice before the break, ending 1-2 at full time. However, a look at Brera Tchumene's recent matches saw Brera Tchumene win only one of their last five, coming against ENH Vilankulu. However, they lost three and drew one other. 

Ferroviario Maputo returned to winning ways last time out, defeating the Black Bulls at home. In a game that ended 1-0, Rifel's 75th-minute strike was enough to seal maximum points for this team. However, in the prior encounters to that victory, Ferroviario Maputo suffered only one defeat in eight consecutive matches, coming against ENH Vilankulo. In the meantime, Ferroviario Maputo secured victories in five other encounters while being held to draws in two games. Heading into this week's 19th match, Ferroviario Maputo have 23 points from 18 games, leaving them 5th in the standings. 

The home team, Brera Tchumene, have not convinced me, and it is tough to expect any surprising or entertaining play from them. While Ferroviario Maputo have stepped up in recent weeks, their unbeaten run of matches, which has ended with more wins, make them look exciting to pick as winners here. However, the winning odds are even here, showing this game could go either way. While both teams struggled offensively in their first meeting, I do not expect any difference here. Take the away team to win while we experience a defensive-minded encounter.
