ASEC Mimosas vs ES Bafing Prediction: Home team will not disappoint

At the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny in Abidjan, the 17th round of fixtures in the Ivory Coast Ligue 1 will include a match between ASEC Mimosas and ES Bafing. On Friday, the home team edged out SO Armee by a score of 0-1 to earn the victory, while ES Bafing was held to a tie by Lys Sassandra.

ASEC Mimosas are currently in first place in their league, but they are aware that there is still a lot of work to be done, and they need to win this match in order to maintain their advantage. The host team's lead over the team in second place, Academie de FAD, which also won against SOL the previous weekend, is only five points at this stage. As of this point in the season, the ASEC Mimosas team has scored 20 goals, making them the second-best team in terms of total goals scored, trailing only the SO Armee squad, which has already scored 24 goals. However, they are also the second team with the fewest goals allowed, with seven. Academie de FAD is the team that has allowed the fewest goals overall, with just five.

ES Bafing is in danger of being relegated because they are only one point above the team that is currently in the relegation zone (ASI d'Abengourou), who are currently sitting in 15th place in the league. On the other hand, they are two points ahead of the team that is currently in last place (Korhogo). However, they also tie Stade d'Abidjan and Stella Adjame with the same number of points. The away side is going to have to put in a lot of defensive effort in this match because they are going up against the team that is currently leading the league. A draw is the best possible outcome for the away team in this match.

The home team is a significant favorite, and I anticipate that they will be able to emerge victorious from this contest. I think they'll be in great shape and bring the momentum from their last win into this one.

In the meantime, there has been at least one side that has failed to score in each of the matches that the home team has played against the clubs that are positioned last. Therefore, a wager on the away team under 0.5 goals will most likely be profitable.

Also, I do not anticipate any difficulties for ASEC Mimosas in winning this match; we are fairly confident that ES Bafing will not be able to keep them in check during the first half. As a result, I am pulling for the home team to prevail in the first half and the second half of this match.
