Stade d’Abidjan vs Zoman Prediction: The home team will extend their unbeaten run with a win

At Complexe Sportif de Bingerville, Stade d’Abidjan will play Zoman in round 14 of the Ivory Coast Ligue 1. The two teams are coming off an unbeaten run of games and will hope to keep things running. Who wins here? Below, I will provide a preview of this game and make predictions. 

Stade d’Abidjan took on Korhogo the previous time out and could only take a point. In that encounter, Stade d’Abidjan came from behind twice to avoid a defeat, with Ezechiel Zaddy and Yann Zebre netting for this side to see them avoid defeat. 

However, Stade d’Abidjan have not lost their last four matches. In that run, Stade d’Abidjan defeated Academie de FAD while drawing Orlando Pirates and Mouna. Stade d’Abidjan have failed to win any of their last five matches. In that run, they lost two while drawing three. 

This season, Stade d’Abidjan have 24 points from 13 matches. In those games, this team scored 15 goals and conceded 14, sitting third in the standings.

Zoman took on Bouake the previous time out and secured a win. In a game that ended 1-0, Idriss Diomande's lone strike was enough to see them take maximum points. However, Zoman have been incredible in recent matches as they have won four consecutive games. In that run, this team defeated Mouna, Racing d’Abidjan, and AS Denguele. In fact, Zoman have not lost their last eight matches. 

Away from home, Zoman have lost only once in their last ten games, coming against SOL. This team defeated sides like Korhogo, AS Denguele, Mouna and Denguele in other games.

This season, Zoman have 22 points from 13 matches. This team scored 16 goals in those matches and conceded 14, sitting 6th in the standings. 

This is a tough game to predict, and I expect a lot from these sides. While Stade d’Abidjan are playing well to avoid defeat recently, Zoman have consistently been winning matches and closing on league top sides. Yet, I believe the tables might turn against Zoman this time despite their incredible run, as I believe Stade d’Abidjan should turn draws to win. Also, while the two teams have quality, I believe their attacking swiftness should be enough to see them score both.
