Isaac de Benguela vs Sao Salvador Prediction: Can the bottom side make it consecutive league victories?

​​Isaac de Benguela will play at home to Sao Salvador in round 15 of the Angola Girabola League. This will be the first-ever meeting between these sides, and they will be eager to take their chances. I will look into the previews of this game in the following section, while offering a good number of betting opportunities.

​​Isaac de Benguela returned to winning ways against Luanda City, and the bottom-placed side hopes to repeat the same performance. In an encounter that ended 2-1, two strikes in the first half were enough to see them take maximum points, thanks to Walter and Mona's brilliance. 

However, prior encounters to their last weekend game saw ​​Isaac de Benguela go 14 competitive matches without a win. In that run, their best results were drawn against CD Lunda Sul, Interclube, Kabuscorp, and Bravos do Maquis. However, some of their defeats were against C.R.D. Libolo, Petro Atletico, Wiliete, Sagrada and the likes. This season, ​​Isaac de Benguela have only 8 points from a possible 39. In those matches, this team scored nine goals while conceding 19. 

Sao Salvador secured a hard-fought victory over Desportivo Huila the previous weekend and will look to pick up from there. Lito's 83rd-minute strike was enough to see this team secure maximum points at home in that encounter. However, Sao Salvador have won three of their last five games, defeating Academica and Sagrada in that run. Yet, their encounter against Carmona ended in a defeat, while they lost to Primeiro de Agosto. 

Away from home, Sao Salvador have failed to win their last four games, losing two and drawing two. In those games, this team conceded five goals while scoring three. 

However, from 14 matches played this season, Sao Salvador have 21 points, which puts them 4th. In those games, Sao Salvador scored 16 goals while conceding 12.

Despite a solid performance in this venue last weekend, I do not see ​​Isaac de Benguela getting things right. You can argue that maybe ​​Isaac de Benguela are having a turning point as they have a good chance looking at the winning chances, but I will gladly back Sao Salvador here. The road team has done well to convince me this season, and while I do not say they are perfect, they have been able to exploit their struggling opponent's weaknesses. On the road, I do not see Sao Salvador having an easy job, having failed to win their last four games. Yet, I feel ​​Isaac de Benguela are not ready to give that consistent level of performance, which will be a problem to deal with. This should be a low-scoring encounter, however, as both teams will prioritize avoiding defeat. However, a point for ​​Isaac de Benguela at the end of the final whistle is impossible.
