Mouna vs Academie de FAD Prediction: The road team to pick their first win in this fixture

Stade Robert Champroux will host the Ivory Coast Ligue 1 encounter between Mouna and Academie de FAD. Heading into this game, the two teams won their last match. How will they approach this match?

Mouna secured their first win of the season against SO Armee last weekend, a game that ended 1-2. In that encounter, Mouna were held to a 1-1 draw at halftime, with Mohamed Sabbah putting Mouna in the lead before SO Armee leveled the score. However, a 90+3 minute strike by Ako Isaac was all Mouna needed to take maximum points in that game. Having drawn Bouake in their opener, Mouna have four points this season, leaving them seated 3rd in the standings with three goals scored and two conceded. 

Academie de FAD are coming off a 2-0 win over ASEC Mimosas and will look to keep that running. In that game, Kouadiokan Amani put Academie de FAD in the lead just seven minutes before the break. However, an 81st-minute Fulgence Kouadio strike was all Academie de FAD needed to take maximum points in that game. With a win over Racing d’Abidjan in the opening day game, Academie de FAD have six points, which put them 2nd in the league’s log. 

The two teams have averagely been good this season, but the road team has been on fire. With the two teams coming off a league win, I expect them to approach this game with character, strong offensive performance, and defensive competitiveness. This should be a very close game, but the visiting team should take maximum points.
