Costa do Sol vs Nacala Prediction: The home team is expected to end its poor run

Estádio do Costa do Sol will host the Mozambique Mocambola Championship encounter between Costa do Sol and Nacala. In their last meeting, Costa do Sol won on the road. Can the visiting team get that result in this one, too?

Costa do Sol

Costa do Sol's last match against UD Songo made it consecutive draws in a row. In that encounter, Costa do Sol had to come from behind through Richard Mbulu's strike after Luis Miquissone had put UD Songo in the lead. However, they played Ferroviario Maputo in the previous game, which ended in a 1-1 draw, while losing to the Black Bulls. In the meantime, Costa do Sol secured wins over Baia de Pemba, Ferroviario Nampula, Ferroviaro Beira and ENH Vilankulo in other matches. 

Nacala

Nacala are coming off a win over Ferroviario Lichinga, a game that ended 3-1. Nacala scored twice in the first half in that encounter through Yunus Abdulkarim and Macamito's strike. In the meantime, this side also started the second half strongly, scoring first through Elias Macamo's strike before Ivan Mario scored for Ferroviario Lichinga to reduce his side's deficit. Going into this week's 15 encounters, Nacala lost only one of their last matches, coming against UD Songo. In other games, they defeated Textafrica, drawing Brera Tchumene and Ferroviario Maputo.

Expert Betting Tips

This will be a game of top competition, with the two teams expected to be at the top level. While Costa do Sol have struggled lately, Nacala have been good in the last weeks. I expect this one to be close, but Costa do Sol have the squad, and I expect them to be at their best at home. Therefore, in a game that should end with close results, this game will end in the home team's favor, with both teams expected to get on the scoresheet.
