UMS de Loum vs Union Douala Prediction: A draw will satisfy both teams

Stade Olembe Annexe B will be the venue for this relegation group match between UMS de Loum and Union Douala. Ahead of this game, both teams settled for a goalless draw the last time they met in 2020. How will this encounter unfold?

UMS de Loum - LDLWL

UMS de Loum are off a road defeat at the hands of Les Astres in a game that ended 2-1. In that encounter, UMS de Loum did take the lead just two minutes into the game through Achille Fokem Namekong's strike, but just 9 minutes later, Ulrich Lobe leveled the scores for Les Astres. In the meantime, poor defensive performance did see UMS de Loum concede their second of the day just four minutes into the end of the game, with Jules Kooh striking for Les Astres this time. However, UMS de Loum had defeated Fovu Baham in the prior encounter, securing a 2-0 win on home turf. In the relegation group after seven league games, UMS de Loum could only accumulate 6 points, positioning them 9th in the standings.

Union Douala - DDDDW

Union Douala are off an unbeaten run of seven games, and in this match, they will look to remain solid. Last time out, Union Douala were victorious on the road against Fauve Azur Elite in a 0-1 road game, thanks to Rostand Moukap’s strike that gave them all three points. In the meantime, their unbeaten run did see Union Douala win three, two others coming against Aigle Royal and Avion Academy, in games that ended in identical scores of 1-0. However, they settled for draws against Bamenda, APEJES Academy, Bamboutos FC, and Fortuna Mfou. In the standings of the relegation group, Union Douala is seated in 2nd spot with 13 points, two below first-placed Fortuna Mfou.

Extra Betting Tips

These two teams need a win here at all costs, but the hosts can’t just afford to lose as relegation looms over them. In the meantime, Union Douala are the better side here, but this will be a challenging game on the road. UMS de Loum have not been good in attack, but I expect them to focus on defensive play. Bet on a draw at full-time in what should end in a few goals.
