Feutcheu FC of Bandjoun host Yong sport Academy of Bamenda on Sunday April 14, 2019, in a day 15 game of the league one championship. Feutcheu is now unbeaten in their last 5 games, while YOSA seems not to have had plans for the eventual departure of Ndoumbe Bosso. The Bamenda boys are still looking for their first win under interim coach, Thomas Ayuketang Kome.
THE STAKES
Feutcheu has gone 7 match days without suffering a defeat, and will hope to continue that run when YOSA comes visiting. The team is on 3 matches winning streak and just 2 points separate Feutcheu from pool B leaders Stade Renard. Coach Richard Towa and his boys have their eyes fixed on the top spot, and are ready to capitalize on any error from the leaders.
For YOSA, the team will be looking for their first win in four games. The team has not won any game since Thomas Ayuketang Kome took over on interim basis. YOSA risk dropping far down the pecking orders in Pool B, should they fail to win on Sunday in Bafoussam. The team will also be in search of their first ever win over Feutcheu.
HEAD TO HEAD
In the away tie, the two sides separated zero all. It is on record that YOSA has never beaten Feutcheu FC, since Feutcheu joined the top tier in 2017. Sundays game will be the 6th meeting between the two sides, and in their last five meetings, Feutcheu has recorded two wins (YOSA 0#2 Feutcheu in Bamenda on May 28, 2017, Feutcheu 3#0 YOSA on September 28, 2017). The other 3 encounters between the two sides have end on parity. The last five matches between YOSA and Feutcheu have produced nine goals, with six for Feuthceu and just three for YOSA.
YOSA has picked just 3 out of 15 points against Feutcheu, with 9 points going the other way.
