Damissa and Cavalier met in the first round of the National Championship on the 27th of September, and neither side could find the net. The match finished 0:0 in a contest that offered little to distinguish the two mid-table outfits. To be fair, both teams seemed content to avoid mistakes rather than seize the initiative.
We had backed the hosts to take all three points, offering a 42% confidence level in our preview. That calculation crumbled quickly as the game stalled. And here's the thing, the visitors looked more dangerous on the counter than we anticipated, disrupting our expectations entirely. The hosts failed to break down a disciplined back line.
Damissa sit in 11th place with 42 points after 33 games played. By then, the gap between them felt wider than the three points available on offer. Cavalier occupy 16th spot with 35 points, sitting eight adrift of their hosts.
The home side arrived with a 3:0 victory over Dadjé, but that followed two consecutive defeats. Their away visitors, conversely, came off a 1:1 draw with ASPAC after a string of wins.
The stalemate keeps both sides in their current positions without altering the hierarchy. Damissa remain in 11th place, while Cavalier stay in 16th. It was a day where the wheels came off for our prediction, leaving both teams with a single point.
