Korhogo vs ASEC Mimosas Prediction: Mimosas expected to close the league gap

Stade Robert Champroux will be the venue for this round 22 Ivory Coast Ligue 1 action between Korhogo and ASEC Mimosas. ASEC Mimosas won the last fixture of this game. Will Korhogo take advantage of this one, too?

Korhogo are off a defeat at the hands of Stade d’Abidjan in a 1-2 encounter. However, the hosts head into this game winless in their last three matches. In that run, Korhogo lost two, one other against Academie de FAD, while they drew ASI d’Abengourou. This season, Korhogo have accumulated 29 points from 22 league games, scoring 26 goals and conceding 23 in those matches.

ASEC Mimosas are off a win over Sporting Gagnoa in a 2-0 encounter. In that game, ASEC Mimosas Serge Pokou and Salifou Diarrassouba scored for this side, now picking their second win in three matches. In their last five league games, ASEC Mimosas won one encounter against Academie de FAD, while they drew both Esperance Tunis and Bouake. This season, ASEC Mimosas have accumulated 37 points from 22 matches, and a win in this game will take them 5 points closer to the league leaders.

This is a crucial game for the road side, as their chances of winning the league are on this game. While Mimosas look improved in their last three games, Korhogo's level of play has dropped. The defense of ASEC Mimosas have been their strength, and while they have found their ways offensively lately, I am backing them to win here in what should be a low-scoring game.
