Zoman vs Lys Sassandra Prediction: A draw could end this encounter again

For the second time in their history, Zoman and Lys Sassandra are set to clash in the Ivory Coast Ligue 1. Their previous encounter ended in a goalless draw in the first leg. As they meet again, will there be a winner this time?

Zoman faced another challenge in their recent away game against Racing d’Abidjan, where they suffered a 2-1 defeat. As they prepare for their upcoming match, Zoman will be aiming to elevate their performance after this setback. However, the loss against Racing d’Abidjan extends Zoman's winless streak to five games, with only one draw in their recent outings. They faced defeats against Stade d’Abidjan, SO Armee, and Sporting Gagnoa in other matches.

Despite these difficulties, Zoman has managed to accumulate 33 points from 21 matches, securing the 4th position in the standings of the Ivory Coast Ligue 1.

Lys Sassandra suffered a defeat in their recent league fixture against Stella Adjame, succumbing to a 0-1 loss at home. A solitary goal by A. Traore in the 22nd minute proved to be the decisive factor. However, a closer look at Lys Sassandra's recent matches reveals a struggle with form, with only one win in their last five games, which came against SOL. They also managed to secure a draw against Sporting Gagnoa. Unfortunately, they suffered defeats against SO Armee and Stade d’Abidjan, with scorelines of 3-2 and 1-0 respectively.

As they prepare for their next match, Lys Sassandra find themselves in 12th place in the standings with 22 points, just two points ahead of the relegation zone.

Both teams enter this match with poor recent form, each hoping to redeem themselves. However, both sides have struggled defensively in recent outings, and their offensive capabilities have been lackluster as well. With this in mind, I anticipate a rather dull encounter with a focus on defensive play. As a result, I believe that both teams will prioritize avoiding defeat, making a low-scoring draw the most likely outcome.
