ASEC Mimosas vs Mouna Prediction: Struggling Mimosas have to step up

The Stade Félix Houphouët Boigny will host the round 19 Ivory Coast Ligue 1 match between ASEC Mimosas and Mouna. In their previous encounter, ASEC Mimosas managed to secure a hard-fought away victory against Mouna. Here's a preview of the match along with some betting opportunities.

ASEC Mimosas faced another disappointing result in their recent league fixture against ASI d’Abengourou, where they suffered a 1-0 defeat. The decisive goal came from Sinare Karamoko in the 32nd minute, sealing the victory for ASI d’Abengourou. This loss extends ASEC Mimosas' winless streak to four games. During this period, they lost to Wydad and settled for draws against Simba and AS Denguele. In the current league season, ASEC Mimosas have accumulated 27 points from 17 matches, placing them 5th in the standings.

Mouna recently played to a goalless draw against Korhogo in their last league match. However, examining their last five league fixtures, Mouna has only managed one victory, which came in a 0-1 away win against Bouake. Unfortunately, in the remaining games of this period, Mouna suffered three consecutive defeats against Lys Sassandra, Racing d’Abidjan, and San Pedro. Throughout these matches, Mouna scored just two goals while conceding six.

This is anticipated to be a highly competitive match, with both teams expected to elevate their performance. Despite recent struggles, there may be a disparity in the style of play and overall quality of the squads. As a result, ASEC Mimosas could have the advantage in this encounter. Although their chances of securing a league victory are still feasible, I anticipate the hosts to deliver a strong performance and secure a victory with a margin of three goals.
