Sonabel Ouagadougou vs ASFA Yennega Prediction: An easy encounter to win for the home team

At Stadium Issoufou Joseph CONOMBO, Sonabel Ouagadougou will play ASFA Yennega in round nine of the Burkina Faso Premier League. Heading into this game, the visiting Yennega won the last meeting of this fixture. How will things end for the two sides here?

Last time on the road, Sonabel Ouagadougou played Sporting Cascades and settled for a goalless draw. In the meantime, that result was their third in recent matches, ending with the same scoreline against ASF Dioulasso and AS Douanes. However, this team has not lost any recent matches, a run that has extended to eight, winning four of those matches. This season, Sonabel Ouagadougou have accumulated 16 points from 8 matches, averaging two points per game. In those matches, the home side scored eleven goals while conceding three, which leave them seated in the second spot. 

ASFA Yennega pulled off a 1-0 win over Etoile Filante the previous time out and will hope for a positive result. In that game, ASFA Yennega settled for a goalless draw at halftime, and in the 55th minute, James Wisdom missed the spot to put ASFA Yennega in the lead. However, thanks to Donald Kabore’s 62nd-minute strike, ASFA Yennega ended their winless run, picking their first win. With six points from eight matches, ASFA Yennega sit 15th in the standings, scoring six goals and conceding 11. 

ASFA Yennega have been a tough side to defeat for Sonabel Ouagadougou in the past, but I believe things will go a different path for this team. Looking at how the away team has played this season, they have not competed, played well, nor shown they have what it takes to win a match against a tough opponent. Take Sonabel Ouagadougou to win this game, given they have not lost any recent matches or struggled defensively. Yet, the home team has a lot of offensive play to improve, an encounter that should end with few goals as they look to go top of the standings.
