Salitas vs Kadiogo Prediction: Another competitive encounter is expected

Stade du 4 Août will be the venue for this round 20 Burkina Faso Premier League game between Salitas and Kadiogo. The last time these two teams met, they played to a 1-1 draw in early January. Will there be a winner in this one?

Salitas played to a 2-2 draw with Etoile Sahel in their last game; coming into this one, they will hope for an even more improved performance. In the meantime, prior encounters to that draw saw Salitas defeat both Vitesse and ASFA Yennega. However, they were on the losing end against Sporting Cascades, but they settled to a goalless draw with Vitesse. Salitas are now seated 5th spot in the league standings with 29 points from 19 games, scoring 24 and conceding 20 in those games.

Kadiogo are off a back-to-back defeat at the hands of Sonabel Ouagadougou and ASEC Koudougou in games that ended in 1-0 identical scores. However, those defeats have now made it the third of Kadiogo’s four league games, with one other against AS Douanes. In the meantime, it is still worth noting that Kadiogo were able to pick a win over Kozaf in a game that ended 1-0. Kadiogo scored just one goal in those games while conceding six in that span.

In their last five meetings, Kadiogo won two, while Salitas won one. In the meantime, two other encounters ended in an identical 1-1 draws. In those matches, Kadiogo scored six goals, while Salitas scored four.

The two sides have much to give here, and they must improve their play level and performance. The hosts have been good in recent games before the break. While the visiting side has struggled in front of goal with just one in their last five, this fixture has seen them score six in the previous five games. While this could more be a repeat of their past encounters, I expect this game to involve goals from both sides, while they are expected to share the spoils at full time.
