Aduana Stars vs Samartex Prediction: The visitors can be dangerous on the road

Aduana Stars will be determined to assume the top of the log when they host Samartex at the Nana Agyemang Badu Park Stadium on Monday. At the same time, the hosts will be poised to sure their home ground to their advantage; the visitors could pull a surprise stunt here.

The Fire Boys have been inconsistent in recent games but still manage to sit in the second spot on the log. Aduana Stars rarely win on the road but rely so much on their home support to garner points. More recently, they defeated Dreams FC on their ground as Bright Adjei scored three times while Kelvin Obeng found the back of the net once to secure the maximum points. 

They were practically on the same journey as last season when they sat at the top of the league for almost the whole campaign but lost the league to Medeama SC with just four games to end it. The Fire Boys have made their home turf a refuge this season, winning eight and losing once in nine games.

The visitors are in a strange spot on the log after gaining promotion last season. They are currently the league leader and are two points above Aduana Stars. Before the AFCON break, Samartex overwhelmed Accra Lions on their ground, scoring three and conceding once. They have lost just one once in their previous eight games, and they have the best defence in the league. 

Samartex, who survived relegation by just four points last season, have managed ten wins in their last seventeen games. Samartex have won twice, lost five and drawn two games on the road this season. 

Samartex have won twice and drawn once against Aduan Stars in their previous three meetings. The second half of the season will kick off with a huge decision to be made by both teams here. Aduana Stars can take advantage of their home support to see off their opponent and move to the top spot, or the visitors can win here and extend their lead at the top. Aduana Stars are extremely poor on the road and must invest all they have in this game to remain in the title race since they only win at home. We are trusting them to at least secure a point against a formidable opponent here; bet on a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals 1.92.

We expect both sides to get a goal apiece here for 2.46.

This game might end in a halftime draw for 1.78.

Good luck!
