SOL form and stats

3-1-3 (win-draw-lost) are the Ligue 1 numbers at home for SOL so far this season.

No payout for SOL in their previous match, an away game at Sporting Gagnoa that ended in defeat 1-2.

Previous to that game, a home match hosting Korhogo in a game that was won 2-1.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how SOL have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found seven matches with the results: Won three, drawn two and lost two.

The SOL fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 9 in 7 matches. SOL have conceded 8 in these home matches.

SOA form and stats

Playing away, SOA have won 2 games, drawn 3 and suffered 3 defeats in the Ligue 1 this season.

SOA are the visiting side once again, their previous game being the 2-2 draw at AFAD (placed 14th). SOA's last match (vs AFAD) ended in drama as all points looked lost at the score 0-2. They did not give up, fought back and in the end a courageous finish rescued a draw after 90 minutes thanks to a 90th minute equalizer by Durate. Durate has scored for this side six fixtures in a row. The talent!

A home win before that, celebrating 2-0 vs Sporting Gagnoa.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found six similar matches played by SOA in our archives, and the results are: two wins for SOA, three draws and one defeat.

Many goals are not expected from the visiting SOA as they have only managed to score 6 times from 8 away games in the league. 10 goals have been conceded by SOA in these games.

Head 2 Head

The teams have met each other already this season, with the result SOA - SOL 1-3 registered in the official records. Head-2-head stats last five meetings: three - two - zero (SOL wins - draws - SOA wins). As for goals, one match ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), four had two or less.
