Motema Pembe vs ASEC Mimosas Prediction: Visiting Mimosas will be strong once more

Motema Pembe and ASEC Mimosas are scheduled to play each other in the fifth round of the CAF Confederation Cup. Motema Pembe's previous match was a loss to Rivers United, and ASEC Mimosas' most recent league encounter was a tie with Racing d'Abidjan.

After suffering two losses at the hands of Rivers United and playing to a draw with both Daibles Noirs and ASEC Mimosas, Motema Pembe will look to get their first victory in the 2023 CAF Confederation Cup. Yet, given that they will be playing on their home field this time, their coach will have a great deal of expectation for them to perform well. The host team's chances of advancing to the knockout stage of this competition are getting slimmer as each game passes, as they now have two points from four games played. Despite this, a victory in this match will unquestionably put them in a position to compete well for a shot in the knockout round of the tournament.

The ASEC Mimosas are currently in first place in Group B of the CAF Confederation Cup, having gained seven points during their first four matches. In this encounter, they will be hoping for a draw or better in order to keep their perfect record intact. Their victories came against Diables Noirs on two separate occasions, while they battled Motema Pembe to a draw and suffered defeat at the hands of Rivers United. The ASEC Mimosas, who were on the road, have already scored three goals in those matches while also allowing three goals against them. As of right now, the ASEC Mimosas have a record of three wins, one defeat, and one tie throughout their most recent five matches across all competitions.

Even though they are playing at home and the bookies have them pegged as slight favorites to win, we still believe that the away team will come out on top in this encounter. Yet, following Mimosa's rebound against Diables Noirs, we look forward to another outstanding performance from the visitors, who maintain their hopes high in qualifying for the knockout stages of the competition. As a result, in order to err on the side of caution, we anticipate at the very least a win or a draw from the visiting ASEC Mimosas.
