Pikine vs Jaraaf Prediction: A competitive encounter is expected

Pikine and Jaraaf will square it off at Stade Alassane Djigo in this round 21 Senegal Premier League game. Heading into this game, both teams could only pick a point from their last league game. Will there be a winner in this one?

Pikine's last game was against Sonacos, and this side picked a draw on the road. In the meantime, in the prior game to that draw, Pikine defeated US Goree at home, with 93rd-minute Mignane Diouf's goal being the difference of the day. Looking at the hosts' last matches at home venue, Pikine won two, while two ended in draws. However, their game against Dakar SC ended in a 0-1 loss. Heading into this game, Pikine have accumulated 30 points from 20 league games, positioning them 4th in the standings.

Jaraaf are coming off a goalless draw with Casa, and with that result, Jaraaf have now failed to win any of their last three league games. In other encounters in that span, Jaraaf lost to Generation Foot, while the one against Sonacos ended in a goalless draw. Looking at Jaraaf road performances, the visiting team has lost just one of their last five, drawing two and winning two. This season, Jaraaf have accumulated 33 league points from 20 matches, positioning them 3rd in the standings.

The head-to-head encounters between these teams have been tight, and this game is not expected to differ. Both teams have had good moments this season, and three points are separating them. This should be a game of luck, but Pikine at their regular venue should get their luck, and I am backing them to win in a low-scoring game.
