RC Kadiogo vs Etoile Filante Prediction: The road team will not disappoint

Stade de Kadiogo will host the Burkina Faso Premier League encounter between RC Kadiogo and Etoile Filante. The two teams will enter this game hoping to secure maximum points. Which side wins this one?

RC Kadiogo had a perfect start to their season, thanks to a hard-fought 2-3 win over Salitas. In that game, RC Kadiogo scored three times in the first half, with Faical Papou Konate scoring a hatrick. However, with a poor second-half performance, this team still did well not to concede more than two goals, as Adama Belem's brace was not enough to secure a point for his side. Heading into this game, that win was RC Kadiogo's lone win in recent matches: nine games. In the standings, the home side sits 4th. 

Etoile Filante opened their season with a goalless draw with USFA and will now look to win here. However, the visiting team's recent matches have not secured a win at full-time in six consecutive matches. In that run, Etoile Filante lost to Enyimba International in the CAF Confederation qualifier on penalties. However, this team settled for draws with Haifa in consecutive matches, Sporting Cascades and Enyimba International in their first leg encounter. 

The two teams' chances of victory in this game are high, but Etoile Filante looks like the real deal. While RC Kadiogo started their season with a win, they have not been a real threat to the road team in recent times. While Etoile Filante have relied on defensive play recently, this could also be the case in this fixture. With the road team having a strong level of play, I believe they have the chance to secure their first win of the season.
