PARIS (Interstat) — AS Mira visits Sélection U19 on Saturday, May 2, in a Ligue 1 Tahiti matchup that pits the league’s hottest team against a struggling side.

Kickoff is set for 7 p.m. local time at Stade Pater in Papeete.

AS Mira (10-2-0 in its last 12 matches) enters on a four-game winning streak, most recently a 5-2 victory over AS Vénus on April 11. The visitors have outscored opponents 17-5 during that stretch. Striker Teva Hiro has scored in three consecutive games, while midfielder Roonui Tefaatau leads the team with eight goals this season.

Sélection U19 (2-10-3 overall) is coming off a 6-0 loss to AS Pirae on April 8, its third defeat in four matches. The young squad has conceded 14 goals in its last three outings and has not won since a 2-1 victory over Punaruu on March 18.

The teams last met March 7, with AS Mira earning a 2-1 win at home. That result extended Mira’s unbeaten run against Sélection U19 to three matches (2-1-0).

AS Mira’s other recent results: defeated Punaruu 2-1 (April 4), lost to AS Pirae 4-0 (March 21), beat Tefana 2-1 (March 14), beat Venus 2-1 (Feb. 21), beat AS Pirae 1-0 (Feb. 7), beat Punaruu 3-0 (Jan. 31), lost to Tefana 6-2 (Jan. 24), beat Taiarapu 5-0 (Dec. 13) and beat AS Pueu 3-0 (Dec. 6).

Sélection U19’s other results: lost to Tefana 3-2 (April 1), beat Punaruu 2-1 (March 18), lost to AS Pirae 5-3 (Feb. 21), lost to Punaruu 3-2 (Feb. 7) and lost to Tefana 7-1 (Jan. 31).

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 4-1 victory for AS Mira, reflecting the disparity in form between the two sides.

Sélection U19 will need a disciplined defensive performance to slow Mira’s attack, which averages 2.8 goals per game in its last five matches. The home team has struggled to generate offense, scoring just 11 goals in 15 games this season.

A win for AS Mira would strengthen its hold on a top-four position in the Ligue 1 table, while Sélection U19 looks to avoid a fifth consecutive defeat.

The match is the second of a doubleheader at Stade Pater, following an earlier women’s fixture.
