Al Hilal Benghazi vs Kakamega Homeboyz predictions
Prediction 1: Al Hilal Benghazi to win
It's important to note that Kakamega Homeboyz are currently on a three-match winless streak, with a draw and two losses. Granted, Al Hilal Benghazi have not particularly enjoyed their best form at the moment, but they've fared relatively better than today's opponents. The Libyan side lost just once in their last seven matches; and considering they have the added advantage of playing at home, we believe that Al Ahli Benghazi will come out on top.
Prediction 2: One team to blank
It's important to point out that the reverse fixture of this clash ended in a goalless draw. That said, most of both teams' recent matches have been one-sided when it comes to goals. In fact, while both teams managed to score in just two of Al Hilal Benghazi's last seven matches, at least one team blanked in three of Kakamega Homeboyz's last four games. All things considered, one of these teams should keep a clean sheet.
Prediction 3: A low-scoring affair
Given that the first leg of this tie did not feature any goals, it's no surprise that we're taking the under option for this match. Interestingly, both teams have been involved in a lot of low-scoring matches; as six of Al Hilal Benghazi's last seven, and all of Kakamega Homeboyz's last five matches went below the 2.5 goal mark. On that note, we shouldn't expect many goals in this game.
