Etoile Filante returned to winning ways during the week against ASFA Yannega, securing a 1-0 home win.

AS Douanes will resume their league title pursuit when they take on Etoile Filante on the road. In their last league match, AS Douanes played ASEC Koudougou, and they won 3-1. In that game, Clavert Kiendrebeogo, Omar Kabore, and Salif Bagate all hit the target for this side. However, their last four league games have ended with two wins, one other against Rahimo and two draws. This season, AS Douanes have the most goals scored in the Burkina Faso Premier League, 33, and the lowest conceded, 9, with 43 points accumulated to put them top of the standings.

Both teams will have high hopes for this game, but it is the visiting team that stands out.

AS Douanes scored three last time in this fixture and should be able to hit two this time, with the hosts also expected to net. Take the visiting team to win in a game that should end with three goals.
