Etoile Filante form and stats

When playing at home in the Premier League, Etoile Filante have managed 6 wins, 2 draws and suffered 3 defeats from 11 games.

Times are rough for the home team, having gone 180 minutes without scoring a league goal. Dramane was the last player to find the net.

The supporters are hoping that Filante will strike back in this fixture, putting things right after the 0-1 away loss in the match against Police (placed 10th). Heartbreak for Etoile Filante in their last match as Police's Kam scored the winning goal deep into overtime.

Preceding that game was the home draw versus Douanes that ended 0-0.

SONABEL form and stats

The visitors are W4-D1-L7 on the road this term. That's in the Premier League. Three consecutive losses in away matches means SONABEL are growing more and more desperate for a good performance on the road.

Impressive finishing secured the home win 1-0 against ASFA-Yennenga in their previous game.

Prior to that match, the SONABEL manager Ouattara faced defeat when travelling to ASFB and losing 0-3.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting SONABEL as they have only managed to score 8 times from 12 away games in the league. 14 goals have been conceded by SONABEL in these games. It's worth mentioning that 7 of these goals has been conceded in their last three away matches.
