Olympique Sport vs Lys Sassandra Prediction: A crucial first meeting between these sides

Stade Robert Champroux will host the Ivory Coast Ligue 1 encounter between Olympique Sport and Lys Sassandra. The two teams could not secure a win in their last league game. Which side gets things right?

Olympique Sport's last league game was against SOL, and they settled for a 2-2 draw. In that encounter, Olympique Sport took the lead five minutes into the second half through Dagnogo Bah's strike but went to concede twice. However, Cheickna Oumar's strike in the last minute of the game was enough to see them avoid defeat. However, Olympique Sport head into this game with no wins in their last seven matches, losing three and drawing four. This season, Olympique Sport have 12 points from 13 games, leaving them seated 13th in the standings.

Lys Sassandra's run of unbeaten games ended the previous time out against Racing d’Abidjan, and they will hope for a better result. In a match that ended 0-1, in the 75th minute, Djakaridja Sangare's strike was enough to seal maximum points for his side. In the meantime, prior encounters saw this team five games without a defeat, drawing four and winning one. Yet, Lys Sassandra have lost three games this season, scoring nine goals while conceding seven. This season, Lys Sassandra have 17 points from 12 games, leaving them seated 7th in the standings. 

Lys Sassandra could eke to a victory here, but it will not be easy. Olympique Sport, ahead of this game, have been showing quality, especially in defence and would rely on that against a Lys Sassandra side that have not been dominant in offence. While the two teams have trouble scoring and winning matches, the visiting Lys Sassandra look a bit better, and I expect them to be the side for the job. Bet on the road team to win, a game that should end with few goals.
