Petro Atletico vs Kabuscorp Prediction: A crucial top standing encounter

Estádio 11 de Novembro will hold this Angola Girabola League encounter between Petro Atletico and Kabuscorp. Both teams could not secure a win in their last league game; in this one, they will hope for a better result. Which side steps up here?

Petro Atletico are on a run of seven games with no defeat, and in this one, they will look to extend it with a win. Last weekend, Petro Atletico played to a goalless draw with Primeiro de Agosto, their second in recent games, with one other being against CD Lunda Sul. However, this side was able to pick wins over Academica, Sao Salvador, C.R.D Libolo, Interclube, and Sporting de Cabinda in other encounters in that run. With 54 accumulated points this season, Petro Atletico are seated top of the league standings, one ahead of their closest rival, Sagrada. 

Kabuscorp are coming off a defeat to Sagrada last weekend, a game that ended 2-3. This team got their two goals from Mankoka Afonso and Merdi Kafuri’s strikes in that encounter. However, their prior games to that defeat saw this side go on a run of four games with no defeat. Kabuscorp defeated Santa Rita, Sao Salvador, and Uniao de Malanje in those encounters while they drew Primeiro de Agosto. Kabuscorp have accumulated 42 points this season, positioning them 4th in the league’s standings. 

Petro Atletico can not be written off in any game, and this game is not an exception. While the visiting Kabuscorp has shown character against rigid sides at home or on the road this season, taking a side like Petro Atletico will take a lot of work. Regardless, I am confident both sides will have their chances in front of the goal, but Petro Atletico have the better squad and should be able to take maximum points.
