AS Denguele vs Olympique Sport Prediction: Relegation battle continues for these two struggling sides

Ivory Coast Ligue 1 action at Terrain de Football du LSY in round 19 of the Ivory Coast Ligue 1 will feature AS Denguele against Olympique Sport. The two teams could not win their last league game and will hope for a better result here. Which team wins this one? Below, I preview this game and offer best betting opportunities. 

AS Denguele

AS Denguele played Mouna in their last league game and settled for a 1-1 draw. In that encounter, we witnessed a goalless draw in the first half. However, five minutes into the second half, Alexander Coulibaly put this team in the lead but in just three minutes to the final whistle, Ako Isaac struck for Mouna to deny this team maximum points. In the meantime, looking at this team’s recent matches, they lost only once in their last five, coming against Korhogo. At this venue, AS Denguele have failed to win any of their last five matches, drawing two and losing three. With 17 points, AS Denguele are three points ahead of the bottom-placed opponent, scoring 16 goals and conceding 23.

Olympique Sport

Olympique Sport played Stade d’Abidjan in their last league game and they lost. In a 2-1 contest, Olympique Sport saw an early lead in the first half overturned by their opponent, with Koanda and Steeve finding the back of the net. In the meantime, a look at this team’s last five matches saw them lose four, three against San Pedro, ISCA and ASEC Mimosas, while they drew Zoman. Away from home, Olympique Sport have three draws and two defeats. This season, Olympique Sport have only 14 points, which leaves them at the bottom of the standings. In 19 matches played, Olympique Sport scored 13 goals and conceded 25 in the same run.
