Match Preview
ASEC Mimosas will host AFAD at the Stade Félix Houphouët-Boigny on Sunday, 24 August, in a Ligue 1 clash that promises to be competitive. ASEC comes into this match in strong form, having secured four wins and a draw in their last five outings. Their attacking prowess has been evident, with a solid average of goals scored per match. In contrast, AFAD has had a mixed bag of results, with two wins, one draw, and two losses in their recent fixtures. This inconsistency may prove detrimental against a side like ASEC, who are currently on a roll.
Historically, the head-to-head record between these teams is closely contested, with ASEC winning two and AFAD four of the last ten encounters, indicating a balanced rivalry. However, ASEC's home advantage and current form suggest they will be the favourites to secure the three points. With odds of 1.95 for a home win, it may be worth considering ASEC not only to win but also to explore the possibility of over 2.5 goals, given the attacking talent on display and the propensity for both teams to find the net in previous matchups.
