Primeiro de Agosto vs Petro Atletico Prediction: A highly anticipated week 13 encounter

In round 13 of the Angola Girabola League, Primeiro de Agosto will play Petro Atletico at Estádio Joaquim Dinis. The two teams have been impressive this season and will have high hopes heading into this game. Which side wins?

Primeiro de Agosto played Bravos do Maquis the previous time out and dropped points, a game that ended goalless. However, with that encounter, Primeiro de Agosto extended their unbeaten run to six games. In fact, all of the previous matches to that draw saw this team defeat Sagrada, Carmona, Desportivo Huila, Isaac de Benguela and Sao Salvador. Heading into this game, Primeiro de Agosto have only one defeat so far this season, a 0-1 defeat at the hands of Luanda City. With 27 points, Primeiro de Agosto sit second in the Girabola standings, scoring 17 goals while conceding 8.

Petro Atletico's last encounter was against Academica, and they won. In a game that ended 3-0, goals from Bryan Rochez and Vanilson were enough to seal maximum points for them, with Hugo Valdez’s own goal also contributing to their success. In the meantime, Petro Atletico have an unbeaten run of 11 matches, having failed to lose this season. This team defeated Luanda City, Santa Rita, Wiliete, Kabuscorp, Bravos do Maquis and Isaac de Benguela, Sao Salvador, and Desportivo Huila in that run. In the meantime, Petro Atletico dropped points against C.R.D Libolo and Interclube, games that ended 1-1 with identical scores. Petro Atletico has 29 points from 11 games this season, scoring 20 goals and conceding 3. 

Title chase is on the line in this game, and both teams must be at their best. While Primeiro de Agosto are at home, a win will surely see them close the league gap so well, provided Petro Atletico wins their outstanding game. In the meantime, the visitors are at the top level on both ends of the field, and I do not see them making mistakes. This is going to be a tight one, with the two teams expected to approach this game with confidence and motive. However, while they would rather have a point than drop points, a bet on a draw is a good option. Yet, these are two strong offensive sides, and a bet on goals is the primary choice.
