Luanda City vs Santa Rita Prediction: Luanda City to take advantage of this game

Estádio Municipal dos Coqueiros will host the Angola Girabola League encounter between Luanda City and Santa Rita. Heading into this game, the two teams have struggled heavily and will look to show character. Which side gets things right?

Luanda City's last league game was against Carmona, and they lost. In an encounter that ended 1-0, Gibeni's lone strike was the difference, extending Luanda City's defeat to four in their last five matches. In that run, Luanda City lost to Wiliete, CD Lunda Sul and Sagrada. In fact, Luanda City's lone victory in their last matches was against Kabuscorp, which ended 2-0. This season, Luanda City have seven points from nine games, positioning them 14th.

Santa Rita settled for a draw with CD Lunda Sul the previous time out, an encounter that ended goalless. However, Santa Rita have witnessed a draw thrice in their last seven matches, the first two against Sagrada and then Bravos do Maquis. In the meantime, Santa Rita have failed to pick a win in their last seven league games, losing to Sao Salvador, Petro Atletico, Wiliete, and Kabuscorp in that run. With seven points, Santa Rita sit 15th in the standings, scoring three goals and conceding ten in 11 matches. 

Santa Rita have the experience needed to win, but I do not see them show any quality play here. While Luanda City have been inconsistent, they also have just one win in recent matches while struggling in other encounters. The two teams have a lot to give, and there is a lot they need to give. Both teams are playing at the same level, but Luanda City is a bit better with a home turf advantage. This is their first meeting, and it is difficult to back them, yet Luanda City should be able to take maximum points.
