On Thursday afternoon, Musongati will look to enhance their chances of winning the Burundi Ligue A title, when they host Athletico Olympic at the Stade Ingoma.
The home side are currently second in the table, four points behind leaders Le Messager Ngozi. However, Musongati have a game in hand on their title rivals. The scenario means that the fight for the title is still very much on.
Musongati head into this clash on the back of a six-game unbeaten run in the top-flight, consisting of three wins and three draws. Two straight draws against rivals Le Messager Ngozi and Rukinzo certainly did not help their title chances.
Their recent league outings have been relatively tight, low-scoring affairs, with under 2.5 goals scored in eight of their last ten league matches.
The home side has a decent home record in Ligue A, as they have suffered just one defeat in their last 16 matches on home soil. They have also recorded wins in four of their last six home matches in the league.
There may be a slight concern, though, as they have now won just one of their last three home matches in the league.
Athletico Olympic will still be looking over their shoulders nervously at the relegation zone. The visitors are five points above the drop zone, although they do have a game in-hand. As games in hands go a trip to a title contender is not ideal.
However, their recent league form will make them believe that they can pick up a result in this clash. Athletico Olympic have won four of their last five Ligue A matches while scoring at least twice in their last two games.
Despite the visitors recent good run of form, Forebet predicts that Musongati will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter.
