ASEC Mimosas vs Academie de FAD Prediction: A high goal-scoring contest ahead

Complexe Sportif de Bingerville will host the Ivory Coast Ligue 1 encounter between ASEC Mimosas and Academie de FAD. In their last meeting, the visiting team secured a 2-0 win. At home, can ASEC Mimosas get revenge? Below, I will preview this game and offer the best betting opportunities. 

ASEC Mimosas

ASEC Mimosas are coming off a draw against Korhogo and will hope for a win this time. In a game that ended 1-1, this team needed to come from behind to avoid a defeat, with Celestine Ecua striking in the 89th minute. However, a look at ASEC Mimosas last five matches saw them win two, coming against SO Armee and Orapa United, ending 3-1 and 4-0. In other encounters, this team lost to Jaraaf while drawing USM Alger. This season, this team has accumulated 30 points from 16 matches, leaving them seated second in the standings. 

Academie de FAD

Academie de FAD's last encounter was against Racing d’Abidjan and they lost. In a game that ended 0-1, Christ Wawa's strike was enough to see their opponent win. In the meantime, Academie de FAD have now lost their last four league games, the first three coming against SOL, Stade d’Abidjan, and ISCA. Away from home, Academie de FAD have lost only one of their last five matches, winning six and drawing two. This season, Academie de FAD have 27 points from their first 16 matches. In those matches, this team scored 18 goals and conceded 11 in the same run.

Expert Betting Tips

These two teams have been competitive this season but their inconsistency will be what they will have to work on. While ASEC Mimosas are well favoured at home, I am not a big fan of them this season, seeing how much they have struggled in crucial fixtures. On the other hand, Academie de FAD, coming off a run of defeats, is not a good one, and the visitors will have to show character here. Yet, I feel the two teams will have their chances here, and while Mimosas look more decent, I will back them to win.
