AS Pikine vs Sonacos Prediction: Both sides will return to league action after losing points in their last matches

Both sides will return to league action after losing points in their last matches. Pikine earned a draw in their last clash while Sonacos were beaten on their home soil. So both teams will have the mind of returning to winning ways in this encounter.

AS Pikine - looking to get their second victory after 8 games

After picking up an important point in their previous match against Mbour, Pikine now head into this league clash. The Mbour side took the lead in the 68th minute thanks to Mamadou Sarr, but the Pikine side came back with a goal from Ababacar Sarr in the 92nd minute. It is important to point out that this team had been on a losing streak of two games until squeezing out that one point that maintained them in 10th place on the table. On the other hand, a victory here could propel them up to as high as 7th place on the table.

Considering that this team has only one victory in their previous eight matches, it is important to point out that they will have a difficult time getting all three points here. They have not won any of their last five matches, instead earning three draws and two losses in that span. Only three goals have been scored by the attack in the last eight games, which is much below par.

Sonacos - continue to solidify their place on the table

Sonaco risk the possibility of dropping to 10th on the table if they lose this game. Therefore, they will be eager to earn the points they deserve in this encounter so that they can maintain a higher position on the table. After 23 games, they have a total of 29 points, which places them seventh in the table.

Referring back to their most recent match, Fally Sagna gave Sonacos the lead from the penalty spot in the 26th minute, but 13 minutes later, Linguere's Babacar equalized, and then, right before halftime, Linguere's Soumare scored the game-winning goal. This was the team's second defeat in a row after nine victories. Before their most recent loss, they had won their previous three games in a row without suffering a defeat.

Head-Head Statistics

The records show that these two teams have competed against one another a total of three times, with Sonacos claiming victory in the most recent encounter by a score of 1-0 in 2022. Prior to that, in 2018, both teams battled to a 2-2 draw, and in 2019, they battled to a 1-1 draw.

Expert Betting Tips

Sonacos won’t risk the chance of dropping points in this match and this signals that the visitors will get at least a point in this clash. With the attacking prowess of both sides, I expect a low-scoring encounter here as well where only one side might find the net.
