Sporting Gagnoa vs Lys Sassandra Prediction: Bet on the host to win here

Stade Victor Biaka Boda will play home to the second week of action in the Ivory Coast Ligue 1 when the match between Sporting Gagnoa and Lys Sassandra takes place. Sporting Gagnoa, who won game one against SO Armee, will try to keep their winning streak alive today, while Lys Sassandra will try to bounce back from their loss to Racing d'Abidjan in game one.

The first game of the season for Sporting Gagnoa was played against SO Armee, and they emerged victorious with a 1-0 score. Bally Dakoury scored the only goal of the game for them in the 64th minute, and that was all they needed to win the contest and take all three points. If we look at Sporting Gagnoa's performance over the course of their most recent five matches, we can see that they have now won two of those matches, with the other victory coming against Stella Adjame back in May. The home team, on the other hand, has been defeated in three of their previous matches, losing to Stade d'Abidjan, SDI d'Abengourou, and AS Denguele.

Lys Sassandra are coming off a loss in this match at home, and moving into this competition, they will seek to turn things around in their favor in order to achieve their goals. Wawa Christ's goal in the early part of the 20th minute of that encounter against Racing d'Abidjan was the game-winning goal. It was the only goal scored in the match. In spite of this, the away team has not been victorious in any of their five games played since the beginning of this current round of competition.

Two of the most recent matches between these two teams were won by Sporting Gagnoa, while Lys Sassandra only managed to take victory once. While that was going on, the scores of the other two matches were 1-1 and 0-0, respectively; therefore, they were both considered draws. During those games, Sporting Gagnoa scored six goals, while Lys Sassandra scored five goals as well.

The two sides are expected to come into this match with a high level of preparation; however, Sporting Gagnoa will have the advantage of playing on their home field, and their win in the first game of the series a week ago is likely to serve as a confidence booster for them. This is anticipated to be a very close and competitive match overall. In the meantime, the opposing squad appears to be disoriented, and I do not anticipate seeing much of an improvement in their performance here. Therefore, betting on the home team to win a match in which both teams are likely to score seems like a rather safe bet to make.
