In the Moçambola League, Costa do Sol will play host Black Bulls at the Estádio do Costa do Sol. In what will be the first competitive game for both sides since November 2023, the two teams will come into this game hoping for all three points. Which of them draws the first blood?

Costa do Sol

Costa do Sol finished the previous season with an unbeaten run of seven matches. In that run, Costa do Sol defeated Matchejde De Maputo, UD Songo, and Ferroviario Nacala in successive games. However, the hosts were held to draws by Ferroviario Nampula, ENH Vilankulo, Ferroviario Maputo and Ferroviario Lichinga. However, they accumulated 36 points in total from 22 matches, and finished 4th in the league standings. While they will now look to win the league this season, Costa do Sol will come here anticipating to start their season with a win.

Black Bulls

Black Bulls finished second the previous season, just one point adrift of league winners, Ferroviario Beira with 38 points from 22 matches. However, coming into the new season, Black Bulls will hope they can step to the test and have a bright start. Heading into this encounter, Black Bulls saw each of their last league games end in wins, coming against ENH Vilankulo, Ferroviario Maputo and Ferroviario Lichinga.

Expert Betting Tips

This encounter will be a challenging game, and both team's chances of winning here are very close. However, Black Bulls have already played this season and they were able to win. In the meantime, the hosts, Costa do Sol, finished the previous season with back-to-back wins and an unbeaten run. Regardless of these stats, Black Bulls have the better squad and have dominated this fixture in the past. While I think Costa do Sol will not give in easily either, both teams should be able to get on the scoresheet here, while the visiting team takes all three points.
