Match Preview: Gazelle FC vs. Union Douala – Title Aspirations Meet Survival Desperation in High-Stakes Roumde Adjia Clash!

The MTN Elite One never sleeps—and Matchday 18 brings yet another pulsating showdown as title-chasing Gazelle FC welcome a desperate Union Douala to the hallowed turf of the Roumde Adjia Stadium this Sunday, April 6th at 1:00 p.m. local time.

This isn't just a match—it's a high-wire act where every touch, tackle, and goal could reshape the top and bottom of the league table. For Gazelle FC, the mission is clear: win or risk falling further behind the relentless pace set by league leaders Colombe Sportive. For Union Douala, the stakes are survival itself.

Gazelle FC: Eyes on the Summit

Gazelle FC have emerged as one of the league's most electrifying forces. With 34 points from 17 matches, they sit just four points off the summit and boast the most explosive attack in the MTN Elite One, netting an astonishing 34 goals so far—an average of two goals per game.

Their recent 1-1 draw against leaders Colombe was a statement of intent and a demonstration of their resilience against the very best. Backed by their passionate home crowd, Gazelle now have a golden opportunity to apply pressure at the top. Anything short of three points could be devastating in such a tight title race.

Union Douala: Backs Against the Wall

For Union Douala, the road is rough and the stakes are even rougher. Sitting 14th with just 15 points, they are teetering dangerously close to the relegation zone. Their 1-0 home defeat to Aigle Moungo in Matchday 17 only deepened their crisis and raised serious questions about their form and confidence.

But football thrives on unpredictability—and Union Douala will need to channel every ounce of grit and resolve to pull off what would be one of the biggest shocks of the season. A win or even a draw at Roumde Adjia could spark a revival. A loss, however, may spell deeper trouble.

Key Storylines to Watch:

Firepower Unleashed: Will Gazelle FC’s high-octane frontline continue to dazzle? Their league-leading 34 goals make them a nightmare for any defense.

Underdog’s Grit: Can Union Douala defy the odds and pull off a seismic result that reignites their survival hopes?

Title Race Implications: A slip-up from Gazelle could widen the gap at the top, handing Colombe Sportive a massive advantage. The pressure is on.
