Fortuna Mfou vs Panthree Prediction: Panthree are ready to take their first point this season

Fortuna Mfou and Panthree will square it off at Stade Annexe 1 Omnisport in round three of the Cameroon Elite One. The two teams are coming off a defeat in their last encounter and will have their hopes high here. How will they approach this game?

Fortuna Mfou

Fortuna Mfou took on Cotonsport in week two game and ended on the losing end. In a game that ended 2-1, two first-half strikes from Jean Chamdjou and Carlos Youngouda gave their opponent the lead. However, despite Adrien Mfoumou's strike from the spot in the second, it was not enough to salvage a point for this side. However, Fortuna Mfou opened their season with a win over Gazelle, pulling off a second-half comeback to secure maximum points. 

Heading into this game, Fortuna Mfou have lost their last two home matches, coming against Bamenda and Bamboutos FC. In their last five, Fortuna Mfou won two, coming against Avion Academy and Les Astres, while drawing Fovu Baham. 

Panthree

Panthree are coming off another disappointing result, and the newly promoted side will now have to show competitiveness if they want a good result in this game. They opened their season with a defeat against Bamenda, which ended 0-1, and their game two against Fauve Azur Elite ended 0-2. In fact, the disappointing thing I expect them to improve is the failure to score in each fixture, which was a home game. In the meantime, Panthree, prior to their topflight promotion, went unbeaten in more than eleven matches, suffering one defeat in the run of 14 games.

Heading into this game, the visiting team sits bottom of the standings. Stats show that the road team is the only side without a point accumulated this season while not finding the back of the net after week two matches. 

Prediction: 1-1

Interesting Match Facts

Expert Betting Tips

This game looks like a draw, as I expect the two teams to give it their all. While Panthree have not lived up to expectations since returning from relegation, I think they might have a chance to pick their first point of the season here. Also, while this is Fortuna Mfou's first league game at home, I do not expect them to slack. While their past meetings have ended with competitive outcomes, a similar outcome should be expected here. I will back this game to end with goals, especially with how brilliant the home side have been, while Panthree nets for the first time this season.
