ASEC Koudougou vs ASFA-Yennenga Prediction: The home team have the edge here

In what is expected to be an interesting matchup, ASEC Koudougou take on ASFA-Yennenga at Stade Balibié Batiebo, Koudougou in the Burkina Faso Premier League. 

ASEC Koudougou have not won any of their last five matches in the Burkina Faso Premier League, recording three losses and two draws against AS Police and Kadiogo. When they play home games, they have had a good run of play, winning twice and drawing three. ASEC Koudougou's last home game ended in a goalless draw against Kadiogo. In the last five matches played at home by ASEC Koudougou, the defense have shown quality by only conceding one goal against AS Police. ASEC Koudougou, which currently sits in the 11th position after playing 28 games, will be seeking to get a win at home to continue their last five home records of no defeats.

ASFA-Yennenga are on a good streak, winning three games and drawing two. ASFA-Yennenga's last game was away to ASF Dioulasso, which ended 1-1. At halftime, both sides played to a goalless tie. However, a much improved attacking second half saw ASFA Dioulasso get a 59th-minute goal with Wilfred, but 10 minutes later, ASFA-Yenneng had a penalty that Traore converted. When they play away, they have a low number of goals conceded by their defense, conceding once in their three recent away games. ASFA-Yennenga sit in the 12th position with 32 points from 28 matches in the Burkina Faso Premier League.

Given that there is only one point separating these two teams in the league standings, we ought to expect a very competitive and difficult game. However, we believe that the visiting team will secure a victory, which we anticipate will be a very modest advantage in this matchup. However, given the importance placed on defensive play, we can confidently anticipate a match with few goals and, as a result, place a wager on under 1.5 goals being scored.
