Academie de FAD vs AS Denguele Prediction: Bet on the host to win

Stade Robert Champroux will play host to the opening round of action for the Ivory Coast Ligue 1 when the match between Academie de FAD and AS Denguele takes place. Both squads entered this new campaign having finished their previous outings with a loss by the same score, 2-0, against their respective opponents. Let's get right into the match and give a preview while also discussing the different betting options that are out there.

Academie de FAD has recently been knocked out of the CAF Confederation Cup after suffering a loss to SOAR in their most recent encounter, which concluded with a score of 0-2, despite having won the first leg of the match on the road by a score of 1-2. Taking into consideration their performance in the league the year before, Academie de FAD finished in fifth place with 47 points after playing in 30 matches. During the campaign, the home team had a total of 28 goals for and 16 against. Even though they will start their league season at home, we can be confident that they will bring their A game to this match, show that they are hungry, and give this match everything it requires to be successful.

After finishing in tenth place the previous season, AS Denguele will be hoping for a better showing this year. The away team finished with a total of 36 points after competing in 30 league matches during the 2022–2023 season of the Ivory Coast Ligue 1 and scoring 30 goals while allowing 36 goals during those matches. Only one of AS Denguele's most recent five league matches was won by the team, while they drew twice, lost twice, and only managed one victory overall.

Academie de FAD has a record of three victories and two draws in their most recent league matchups, which were also their most recent meetings. The other two matches ended in a draw. AS Denguele scored three goals in those matches, while Academie de FAD scored eight goals in those matches combined.

Both of the teams at home have come a long way over the past few years, so this match should be a competitive one anyway. Consequently, despite the fact that I anticipate the away squad to show some resiliency, I continue to believe that the home club possesses what it takes to secure all of the points available in this contest.
