Pikine vs Mbour Prediction: Hosts must not drop points again

At Stade Alassane Djigo, Pikine is set to host Mbour in this round 12 Senegal Premier League encounter. Considering that both teams were unable to secure victories in their respective last two matches, it remains uncertain whether there will be a decisive winner in this fixture or if it will end in a draw.

Pikine is coming off two consecutive draws, facing Generation Foot and Teungueth in matches that both ended without goals. These draws mark Pikine's third in their last five matches, with another one occurring against Jaraaf, also in goalless fixtures. During this period, it's noteworthy that Pikine has remained undefeated, securing wins over Sonacos and Casa with scorelines of 1-0 and 3-1, respectively. In the current season, the home team has gathered 17 points from 11 matches, placing them two points behind the league leaders, Jaraaf.

Mbour is coming off a 1-2 home defeat against Casa. In the said match, Amoctar Diallo scored for Casa as early as the 41st minute. However, a second-half goal from Nfally Sagna in the 51st minute secured all three points for their opponents. Despite Mbour pulling one back late to reduce the deficit, they were unable to overturn the result. Looking at their recent performance, the visitors have managed just one win in their last five matches, which came against Sonacos in a 1-0 home victory.

The home team enters this match in better form and appears stronger on paper. Mbour has faced challenges both in home and away matches, and their difficulty in securing victories will likely pose a challenge for them to score in this encounter. Hence, a wager on a low goal count seems plausible.
