ISCA vs Zoman Prediction: An entertaining first meeting is expected

Stade Robert Champroux will host the week 9 Ivory Coast Ligue 1 encounter between ISCA and Zoman. In their first competitive football meeting, the two teams will have high hopes of winning. How will they approach this encounter?

ISCA

ISCA struggled against Stella Adjame during the weekend and ended up losing. While taking the lead in the 14th minute, their opponent responded with a goal before the break to level the score before a last-minute goal for Stella Adjame to secure maximum points. However, this team head into this game with a failure to win any of their last matches, with three losses and one draw. In fact, ISCA have fewer points than the number of matches they have played this season. In that run, ISCA scored six goals while conceding six. After seven matches, ISCA have eight points, leaving them positioned 12th in the standings. 

Zoman

Zoman pulled off a shocking victory over San Pedro the previous time out and will hope to keep things running. In that encounter, Zoman scored twice before the break, as Bi Djessan and Celestine Ecua found the back of the net. However, just 13 minutes into the second half, Bi Djessan scored his second goal of the day, and despite Jean Koffi pulling one back for their opponent, 85th minute Kaba Kane’s strike was enough to seal the win. Heading into this match, Zoman have gone unbeaten in three successive games, defeating ASEC Mimosas while settling for a 1-1 draw with SO Armee. 

Expert Betting Tips

Zoman have been good lately, and while ISCA have struggled, it is tough to pick a clear winner with Zoman on the road. Looking at how the two teams' matches have ended this season, I will back this game to end with goals, given the poor defensive line of the two teams. Also, while there does not seem to be a clear winner in this encounter, a draw is expected to satisfy the two teams.
