Korhogo vs Stade d'Abidjan prediction 24.12.2024 | Ivory Coast - Ligue 1

• Competition: Ligue 1
• Date: Tuesday, 24th December, 2024
• Kickoff: 15:30 UK / 16:30 CET
• Venue: Stade Robert Champroux (Abidjan)

Korhogo came to this season after a pretty good one when they finished 10th, closer to the CAF Champions League spots than the relegation zone. This year, they have been absolutely terrible and are looking like one of the primary candidates for relegation. Right now, they are in 15th place with 10 points. Yet, the safe zone is still one point, and they definitely have a chance to turn things around.

Meanwhile, Stade d'Abidjan are one of the best teams in the league. Last year, they finished 2nd - five points away from the title. And this season, they are doing well in the domestic league, considering they sit in 3rd place with 23 points - seven away from the top spot. Still, they played two games fewer, and this match against out-of-form Korhogo is a must-win in order to close some gap on the league's table. On the other hand, they are struggling in the CAF CL, but that is not a surprise since they faced really tough opponents.

Korhogo vs Stade d'Abidjan pick: Under 2.5 goals

Korhogo has been among the best teams for this type of bet, with almost 77% of the games finishing with fewer than three goals. The main reason for it is their terrible offense, considering they scored just seven goals in 13 rounds so far. So, scoring in this match against one of the best defenses is completely unreal.

Meanwhile, Stade d'Abidjan haven't been impressive offensively in recent games either. They have scored zero or one goal in seven out of the last nine games in all competitions. So, we do not believe they can offer a good offensive display against a team that managed to keep a clean sheet in two of the last four home games.

Considering all the above, we believe that an under 2.5 goals bet is the safest option for this Ligue 1 tie.
