AFAD form and stats

AFAD have collected 11 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 3-2-2.

This is expected to be a close game, with AFAD perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with AFAD as a small favourite), we find three games. AFAD has won two of these, drawn zero and lost one.

Two away games in a row for ASEC Mimosas, who will hope to get a better result in this one after losing 1-2 versus Racing d'Abidjan in the Ligue 1. Preceding that, the 0-1 home loss versus San-Pedro.
