Petro Atletico vs Sao Salvador Prediction: The home team will run riot

Estádio 11 de Novembro will host the Angola Girabola League game between Petro Atletico and Sao Salvador. The two teams started their season with favorable results. How will this game unfold?

Petro Atletico started their season against Desportivo Huila and secured a 2-0 win. In that game, Petro Atletico took the lead through Jonathan Toro's strike in the 22nd minute of the game. However, Pedro Aparicio’s strike in the second half was enough to seal maximum points for this team. Heading into this game, Petro Atletico have had three wins in their last five matches while losing one and drawing one. In the meantime, in the two times Petro Atletico faced Sao Salvador, Petro Atletico won each, scoring nine goals and conceding two. 

Sao Salvador have not lost any of their first two games of the season but will hope for a win this time. In their opener, this team settled for a 1-1 draw with newly promoted Luanda City on the road, thanks to a 48-minute Eliseu Bicho strike that leveled the score for them after being behind at halftime. However, against Bravos do Maquis the previous time out, this team was held to a goalless draw and extended their unbeaten run to five matches. The last league defeat of Sao Salvador was against Wiliete, which is coming in mid-May. 

Petro Atletico are clear favorites in this game, and I expect them to take their chances. In the past meetings between these sides, the home team dominated, being very good in attack, while their defense line was also brilliant. However, despite avoiding defeat in their first two games and pulling off an unbeaten run of games, I still do not see Sao Salvador strong enough to deny this team an easy win. Take Petro Atletico to win each half of this game, an encounter that should end with many goals like their past meetings.
