The home team have been inconsistent this season; they have struggled to win but managed to maintain their stand on the log. After their Derby defeat against Agosto, Petro Luanda returned to winning ways with a convincing win over Academica Petroleos do Lobito. Two goals from Tiago Azulao were enough to hand them their ninth win of the season.

Petro Luanda have drawn once, won three, lost once in their last five games, and scored the most goals this season (24). Petro Luanda will play a very defensive side tomorrow, and only their attackers can determine their fate here.

The visiting side are a top team and sit third on the log. Sagrada Esperanca have won seven, drawn three and lost twice in the last twelve games. They are the best in the previous five games with fifteen points from a possible fifteen.

They left it late against Cuando Cubango as Dasfaa saved the day with a goal in the 91st minute. More recently, they thrashed Sporting de Benguela (4-0) to retain their spot on the log.

Sagrada Esperanca have won just once in their last five away games.

The last eight meetings have seen Petro Luanda with nine wins while Sagrada Esperanca have recorded six wins with three games ending in a share of the spoils.

Petro Luanda have failed to win in their last four home games, losing twice while recording two draws. They will host their visitors at their rival G.D. Interclube, pending when theirs open. Petro Luanda doesn’t have a good record on that ground, and the jinx might continue. The visitors also have a terrible record on the road, with a win in the last five games.

Petro Luanda will be careful not to lose twice in three games, having lost to their arch-rival Agosto recently. We expect a defensive display from both sides, with the home side winning or drawing and over 1.5 goals for 2.01.

A halftime draw might occur here for 2.05.

Sagrada Esperanca will at least get a goal; bet on BTTS for 2.37.

Good luck!
