C.R.D. Libolo vs Petro Atletico Prediction: The road team will continue their brilliant run

C.R.D. Libolo and Petro Atletico will square it off at Estádio Municipal de Calulo in round 9 of the Angola Girabola League. The road team is the better side. Can C.R.D. Libolo, at home, turn the tables?

C.R.D. Libolo's last league encounter was against Bravos do Maquis, and they lost 1-0. In the meantime, that win denied C.R.D. Libolo had a run of matches without a defeat, where they won three and drew two. In that run, C.R.D. Libolo defeated Desportivo Huila, Isaac de Benguela, and Sagrada while drawing Carmona and Sao Salvador. This season, C.R.D. Libolo have 12 points from eight matches, leaving them seated in the 5th spot.

Petro Atletico extended their winning run against Santa Rita the previous weekend and will look to keep things going. In a game that ended 1-0, Pedro Aparicio's 44th-minute strike proved to be the difference, securing maximum points for his side. In the meantime, Petro Atletico have won each of their last league games, defeating Desportivo Huila, Isaac de Benguela, Bravos do Maquis, Wiliete, and Kabuscorp. With 12 points, Petro Atletico sit 5th with seven goals scored and seven conceded in eight matches. 

C.R.D. Libolo have consistently shown character and proved they are a side to reckon with. However, looking at Petro Atletico's performances, they have shown they are up for the task, showing class with their consistent performances. This should be a competitive game, looking at the two teams attacking strengths. While on the road, I still believe that Petro Atletico are too good to be handled by C.R.D. Libolo, and they should be able to win.
