Stade d'Abidjan vs Mouna Prediction: A goal for the visiting team will not be enough to see them avoid a defeat

Stade Robert Champroux will be the venue for round 13 of the Ivory Coast Ligue encounter between Stade d'Abidjan and Mouna. The two teams head into this game, hoping for a win. At home, Stade d’Abidjan are favourite. Can Mouna avoid a defeat? I will preview this game below and provide betting opportunities. 

Stade d'Abidjan's last encounter was in the league against Academie de FAD, and they secured maximum points. In a game that ended 1-3, Stade d'Abidjan needed to come from behind to take maximum points, with Abdoul Koanda's strike levelling the score for them before the break. However, Youssiuf Kone and Mamoudou Bachabi's strike in the second half was enough to see this team take maximum points. 

However, prior encounters to that win saw Stade d'Abidjan go winless in five matches. In that run, Stade d'Abidjan drew Stella Adjame and Orlando Pirates. In the meantime, they lost to CR Belouizdad, Al Ahly and Bouake.

This season, Stade d'Abidjan have 22 points from 11 matches. In that run, Stade d'Abidjan have 12 goals while conceding 11 as they sit 5th spot. 

Mouna's last encounter was against Korhogo, and they settled for a draw. In a game that ended 1-1, two first-half strikes were enough to settle the score, with Romuald Sawadogo's strike good enough to see this team avoid a defeat. 

However, Mouna did not lose any of their last three games but failed to win any of their previous four. In that run, they lost to Zoman while drawing Stella Adjame and ISCA. 

Mouna have not lost any of their last seven matches away from home. In that run, this team won three games while drawing four. Scoring nine goals, Mouna also conceded six in the same run. 

This season, Mouna have 19 points from 13 matches. Seated 7th spot, Mouna scored 15 goals while conceding 13. 

Stade d'Abidjan have struggled lately, but their last performance was brilliant. However, Mouna have been unbeaten lately, which could be a huge step for them. In the meantime, at home, I expect a lot from Stade d'Abidjan, who have struggled in their CAF matches. With a league win still possible, I believe Stade d'Abidjan will not drop points. However, while the two teams' defences have been poor, a bet on both teams scoring is a good option.
