USFA vs Salitas Prediction: The home team will extend their unbeaten run with a win

Stadium Issoufou Joseph CONOMBO will host the Burkina Faso Premier League game between USFA and Salitas. The last time these teams met was in this venue, and Salitas secured a win away from home. Can USFA get revenge here?

USFA are coming off a 1-1 draw with ASFA Yennega and will hope to get back to winning ways here. In that encounter, USFA went behind in the fifth minute into kickoff, with James Wilson putting their opponent in the lead. However, a second-half 54th-minute strike by Patrick Malo was enough to see this team salvage a point. However, USFA have seen their last four games end in a draw. In the meantime, the home team has not lost their last eleven league games, winning six of those games. This season, USFA have 24 points accumulated from 14 matches. With two points behind league-leading Sonabel Ouagadougou, USFA sit third in the third spot, scoring 14 goals while conceding 9.

Salitas suffered a defeat in their last league encounter against US Comoe and will hope to turn things around. In that game, Salitas went behind before the break, with Salifou Zougouri putting their opponent in the lead. However, in the 79th minute, Adama Junior Keita's brilliance saw this team levelled, but an 89th-minute strike from Zougouri, securing him his second goal of the day, denied this team a point at full time. However, prior encounters to that defeat saw Salitas go three games unbeaten, defeating ASEC Koudougou and Bobo-Dioulasso while drawing Vitesse. This season, Salitas have 16 points accumulated from 14 matches, leaving them seated in the 11th spot. 

Salitas have been inconsistent this season, and despite strong performances in some matches, it is tough to back them against an in-form USFA. Looking at the home side, they have been good, especially in defence, while also doing well competing for the lead. I feel the two teams have a good chance in this fixture, but the difference should be the importance. At home, USFA have a slight advantage, while their league chase should also be the driving force to victory. While USFA have one of the best defences this season, their attack has not been good enough. With a focus on defensive play, bet on a few goals while the home team takes maximum points.
