Club Africain vs US Monastir Prediction: The guests might pull a surprise stunt here

Club Africain will face off against US Monastir in what seems to be an evenly contested fixture at the Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi Stadium on Saturday. Both sides are two of the three teams left to taste defeat since the season began, and we think a winner might not emerge here.

David Bettoni's men are unbeaten this season, heading here with back-to-back stalemates. More recently, they settled for a share of the spoils against Olympique Beja on the road. After scoring first, Bilel Ait Malek was shown a red card, and their opponent took advantage to level in a (1-1) tie. Before then, they failed to convert their chances at home against CS Sfaxien in a negative (0-0) share of the spoils. 

The hosts have not lost in their last six consecutive games this campaign, becoming one of the only three teams to have done that. Club African have scored nine times this campaign and have conceded once. Club Africain have managed just two wins on their ground over their last nine matches.

Mohamed Sahli's men maintained their momentum as they secured a (2-0) victory over EGS Gafsa on their ground. Despite settling for a (0-0) stalemate at the break, US Monastir found the back of the net twice in the second half while the guests failed to respond on the road. After scoring just one goal in their first three games, US Monastir have scored six times across their last three games in the league. US Monastir are among the few teams yet to taste defeat since the season began, and we expect them to keep up with the pace here. 

US Monastir have won once and drawn twice over their previous three games on the road.

Club Africain have won nine, while US Monastir have managed seven victories and four games ending in a tie over their last twenty meetings. Club Africain has been below par in their previous two matches on their home turf. They have drawn back-to-back games in the league and will be without their top scorer, Bilel Ait Malek, who was shown a red card against Olympique Beja. He’d be badly missed and we think their opponent would be favorite here.

We are trusting the guests to at least secure a point here; bet on an away win or draw and under 2.5 goals here for 1.95.

We anticipate a total of under 0.5 goals at the break for 2.10.

It’s a cagey game here and we think more goals will surface after the break for 2.20.

Good luck!
