Stade d'Abidjan vs Zoman Prediction: A tough road job for Zoman

Stade d'Abidjan is set to clash with Zoman in the 17th round of the Ivory Coast Premier League. Let's delve into a preview of this match and make a prediction.

Stade d'Abidjan is coming off a recent loss against SOL, and as they prepare for this match, the hosts are eager to deliver a stronger performance. Unfortunately, the defeat against SOL marks their third loss in the last four games, with the other two coming against Academie de FAD and ASEC Mimosas. Despite these setbacks, they did manage to secure a convincing 5-1 victory over ASI d’Abengourou in another match.

As of now, Stade d'Abidjan occupies the 9th position in the league standings, accumulating 19 points from 16 matches.

Zoman showcased an impressive performance last week against Stella Adjame, staging a remarkable 3-2 comeback at home. Trailing 2-0 at halftime, the visitors, powered by goals from Akye Kensford, Aboubacar Konate, and a late-minute strike by Ivan Bado, secured an incredible victory. As they enter this upcoming match, Zoman has been in excellent form, winning four out of their last five games. Their only defeat during this period occurred against Academie de FAD.

The performances of these two teams present a noticeable contrast, but Zoman appears to be in excellent form, making them a reliable choice for a victory. While acknowledging that this might not be an easy match for the visiting team, Stade d’Abidjan, playing at home, is anticipated to find the back of the net. Therefore, considering Zoman's sharp form and the potential for goals from both sides, trusting Zoman for the win while also expecting goals from Stade d’Abidjan at home seems like a reasonable approach.
