AS Douanes’ title defense is under increasing pressure, with the team enduring a concerning dip in form following two successful seasons.
Despite expectations of securing a third consecutive championship, Kamou Malo’s side has faltered in recent matches, raising doubts among supporters and putting the coach’s position in the spotlight.
A Decline in Performance
The last six games have been a major disappointment for the team, who have managed just five points from a possible 18.
The run includes one victory, three draws, and two defeats, with the latest blow coming in the form of dropped points in two rescheduled matches.
AS Douanes secured only one point in those games, squandering valuable opportunities to close the gap on the league leaders.
Currently sitting in 6th place, the team is now eight points adrift of Rahimo FC, the current leaders of the championship.
This sharp decline in form has raised alarm bells, especially for a team that had previously been in relentless pursuit of success under Malo’s management.
The Root of the Struggles
Supporters of AS Douanes, who have grown accustomed to seeing their team dominate, are now questioning the reasons behind the drop in performance.
The team’s usually robust balance between attack and defense has unraveled in recent weeks, with both areas showing signs of weakness.
Offensive inefficiency has hindered AS Douanes’ ability to convert chances, while defensive vulnerabilities have allowed opposition sides to capitalize.
Malo, who had established a winning formula over the past two seasons, now faces the challenge of rebuilding his side’s confidence and restoring the cohesion that had been its hallmark.
The Road to Redemption
With the championship still far from decided, AS Douanes’ path to reclaiming the title is fraught with difficulty.
Kamou Malo and his players must find a way to restore their form quickly to keep their title hopes alive.
The margin for error is growing ever thinner, and the team’s next steps will be crucial in determining whether they can mount a successful challenge for the top spot.
The remaining fixtures in the season will feel like finals for the Douaniers. Each match will be an opportunity to turn their fortunes around, but the pressure is mounting as the gap to Rahimo FC widens.
The ball is now firmly in AS Douanes’ court, and how they respond to this turbulent period will determine their ability to salvage the season.
