AS Douanes vs Rahimo Prediction: A draw will satisfy the two teams

Stadium Issoufou Joseph will host the Burkina Faso Premier League game between AS Douanes and Rahimo. The last meeting between these sides ended in a win for the home side. With the visiting team flying high, how will this game unfold?

AS Douanes settled for a goalless draw with RDF the previous time out and will hope for a better result here. However, that draw was this team’s fourth in recent games. AS Douanes also picked a point against Bobo-Dioulasso, ASEC Koudougou, and US Comoe in other games. Yet, this team lost to USFA, while their best result in that run came against Kadiogo. This season, AS Douanes have 19 points from 12 matches, fewer than their last season’s, as they sit 6th in the standings.

Rahimo played Sonabel Ouagadougou the previous time out and secured a win. In a game that ended 1-0, Souleymane Kane's lone strike in the fourth minute was enough to seal maximum points for this side. In the meantime, the visiting team has won three games in the last five games, defeating Salitas and Etoile Filante in that run. However, this team lost to Kadiogo away from home while they drew RDF. This season, Rahimo have 22 points from 12 matches and sits in the third spot, being four points behind first-placed Sonabel Ouagadougou. 

This could be a shocking outcome for the home side, and I do not trust them. While Rahimo have been very good this season, it is tough to write them off, even on the road. Douanes have struggled to secure wins despite not facing defeats in most of their games. The two teams could focus on avoiding defeat in this game, looking at how crucial every fixture is for them. Yet, I expect an attacking play, and a bet on both teams scoring and a full-time draw is a good option.
