Black Bulls vs Baia de Pemba Prediction: Expect few goals in this encounter

Estádio da Matola, Maputo, will be the venue for this round 2 Mocambola League game between Black Bulls and Baia de Pemba. Both teams had a solid start to the season, with a win in game 1. Which of these two strong sides will keep things going?

Black Bulls had a solid start to the season, as they dispatched Costa do Sol on the road. In that game, Black Bulls took the lead through Chamito Alfandega just 8 minutes into the game, but they conceded in the 27th minute, with Obino Chisala leveling the scores for Costa do Sol. However, Black Bulls conceded the second time in that match just five minutes into the second half, with Yamikai Chester hitting the back of the net. In the meantime, 71st and 85th-minute goals from Nigerian-born Hammed Jeleel put them in the lead, giving them the maximum points in that game. Now, heading into this game, week 2, Black Bulls are seated in 3rd spot in the league standings with 3 points.

Baia de Pemba started their season with a 2-0 win over ENH Vilankulo in a home game. In that encounter, Baia de Pemba took the lead from the spot, which Nely converted just four minutes into the game. However, the second-half 74th-minute goal by Igor Silva Cardoso was all Baia de Pemba needed to take all three points in that encounter. Heading into this game, Baia de Pemba have now seen themselves win three of their last five matches in all competitions, two others coming against Ferroviário Beira and Ferroviário Maputo. However, Baia de Pemba lost to Ferroviário Nampula and drew ENH Vilankulo in one other game. In those matches, Baia de Pemba scored seven goals while conceding three.

These two teams have a strong squad and started their season off a good level. In the meantime, both teams' strength relies on defense, and we expect a similar result and a similar style of play here. While the two encounters between these teams have ended with 1 goal, a bet on 1-2 goals is the best.
