AS Douanes vs Etoile Filante Prediction: A close contest in favor of the home team

The second Burkina Faso Cup semi-final match will take place at Stade Issofou Joseph Conombo, and it will feature AS Douanes taking on Etoile Filante. Despite the fact that the away team, Filante, has their sights set on the championship match, the home club is the superior side in this encounter.

After suffering a recent defeat in the league at the hands of Etoile Filante, AS Douanes will be hoping that the outcome of this match goes in their favor. Before that setback, AS Douanes had gone the entirety of the season without suffering a single defeat, although they had competed in more than 28 matches during that time span. AS Douanes currently have a record of three wins, two draws, and one loss in their most recent six matches.

After prevailing over AS Douanes in the league encounter that they played against each other the week before, Etoile Filante will be hoping that they can maintain the same level of play today. In that game, Etoile Filante scored both of their goals thanks to goals scored by Ibrahim Abou Dicko and an own goal scored by Madou Zon in the 19th minute. Despite the fact that AS Douanes pulled one back before the break, Etoile Filante were able to take the victory thanks to a significant amount of defensive play that they displayed in the second half of that encounter. Etoile Filante have now won two of their past five matches, but during that span they have also suffered one loss and been held to a draw twice.

Since 2018, these two teams have competed against one another nine times. But out of those matches, four ended in draws. Despite this, AS Douanes was victorious in three of the matches, while Etoile Filante also notched two victories. Both AS Douanes and Etoile Filante scored seven goals each during those contests for their respective teams.

In spite of Etoile Filante's obstinacy, we anticipate that AS Douanes will view this encounter as an opportunity for payback for their recent defeat. In the meantime, given that both teams scored goals in the encounter before this one, we anticipate that there will be goals scored by both sides once again.
