Ouakam vs Pikine Prediction: A low scoring encounter expected

Ouakam and Pikine are set to compete in the 14th round of the Senegal Premier League at Stade de Ngor. In their previous encounter, Pikine secured a 1-0 victory at home. Will Ouakam manage to secure a revenge win on their home turf this time, or will Pikine assert dominance once more?

Ouakam

Ouakam secured a 3-1 home victory in their recent match against Casa just before the AFCON break, aiming to maintain their positive momentum in the upcoming fixture. In that game, Solely Coly opened the scoring in the 41st minute, giving them the lead at halftime. A determined Ouakam side extended their advantage in the 54th minute with a goal from Alfred Gomis, followed by Souley Coly's second goal of the day, making it 3-0 for the hosts. Although Abdoulie Bah scored a late goal for Casa in the 90+4 minute, it had no impact on the outcome as Ouakam claimed all three points. However, preceding this victory, Ouakam experienced a three-match winless streak, suffering defeats to both US Goree and Sonacos, while their match against Jaraaf ended in a draw. In the current league season, Ouakam has accumulated 16 points, placing them in the 8th position in the standings.

Pikine

Pikine extended their unbeaten streak to nine matches with a recent goalless draw against Jamono Fatick in an away game. Within this run, Pikine secured victories in four matches against Diambars, Sonacos, Casa, and Mbour. The remaining fixtures during this period resulted in draws against US Goree, Jaraaf, Generation Foot, and Teungueth. Despite scoring only seven goals in these matches, Pikine displayed a strong defensive performance, conceding no more than two goals. In the current Senegal Premier League season, Pikine has amassed 21 points out of a possible 39, scoring a total of nine goals and conceding six, placing them in the fourth position in the league table.

Expert Betting Tips

Both teams possess the qualities necessary for a victory, with Ouakam benefiting from fan support and strong motivation to secure the second spot in the standings. However, considering the current circumstances, this match doesn't appear to have a clear winner, making a draw at full time a plausible outcome. Additionally, given the trend of fewer than two goals in their recent meetings, there's a possibility of a low-scoring defensive encounter.
