Stade Robert Champroux will host this round 21 Ivory Coast Ligue 1 action between ASEC Mimosas and Bouake. Off to this game, ASEC Mimosas won the last meeting of this encounter, a 0-3 win on the road. Can the visiting side replicate that level of performance in this one?

ASEC Mimosas - WLDLW

ASEC Mimosas put their CAF Champions League disqualification behind them and got things the right way in the league as they came out on top in a road game against Academi de FAD. In that encounter, Serge Pokou’s 23-minute goal for ASEC Mimosas gave them all three points, as well as being the hero of the day. However, they had previously lost in the league to San Pedro while facing defeat in the second game of their CAF Champions League with Esperance Tunis. So far in the Ivory Coast Ligue 1 this season, ASEC Mimosas have only accumulated 33 points from a possible 60, positioning them 6th in the league standings.

Bouake - LWLWD

Bouake were held to a goalless draw by ASI d'Abengourou last time out in the league. In the meantime, a look at Bouake's last five games showed that they picked wins over San Pedro and AS Denguele but faced defeats at the hands of Mouna and Academie de FAD. In those games, Bouake scored six goals while conceding six. So far this season, Bouake have accumulated just 15 points from a possible 63, as they now sit in the bottom spot of the league standings. So far this season, Bouake have conceded 32 points from 21 games, scoring just 15 in the same number of games.

Expert Betting Tips

While it keeps becoming impossible game by week to make it to the next CAF Champions League, ASEC Mimosas are expected to keep themselves strong as all hopes is not mathematically lost, provided they win their outstanding games. On the other hand, Bouake have been less than impressive this season, and they do not look competitive at all. While ASEC Mimosas are expected to look sharp in attack while keeping their defensive solidity, I see this one ending in a win for the hosts with a score of 2-0.
