Metlaoui vs US Tataouine Prediction: A draw will be a huge one for both teams

The Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 match featuring Metlaoui and US Tataouine is scheduled to happen at Stade Municipal de Métlaoui. Prior to this game, the home team suffered a loss against Bizertin, whereas US Tataouine achieved a victory over AS Marsa, extending their winning streak.

Entering this match as favorites, Metlaoui has struggled to secure a victory in their last six games. Surprisingly, they failed to achieve even a single draw in any of these matches, all resulting in defeats. Their losses include matches against CS Sfaxien, Monastir, CA Bizertin twice, AS Marsa, and Esperance Tunis. During these games, Metlaoui only managed to score two goals while conceding a total of 14. In the current league season, Metlaoui has an average goal-scoring rate of 0.83 goals per match. Additionally, the team faces challenges in ball possession, with an average of 41.30% in the current season. In the relegation standings, Metlaoui currently occupies the 6th position with three points.

Entering this match, US Tataouine has won two out of their last five games, both victories coming against AS Marsa. However, in the remaining fixtures within that period, the visitors experienced defeats against Monastir, Esperance Tunis, and CA Bizertin. During these losses, the away team managed to score 4 goals but also conceded in the same run. In their away games, US Tataouine scored an average of 0.5 goals per match while conceding 1.42. The team accumulated 16 yellow cards and one red card due to disciplinary reasons. Tataouine's ball possession is relatively modest, averaging 46.00% overall in this season.

In their recent five encounters, Metlaoui emerged victorious twice, while the remaining three matches concluded in draws, with no wins for US Tataouine. During these meetings, Metlaoui demonstrated proficiency by scoring three goals, whereas US Tataouine managed to score only two.

As of now, both teams don't appear to be in peak form, considering the number of matches they have lost leading up to this encounter and the outcomes of their previous meetings. Consequently, although I acknowledge that both teams may have their chances and advantages, I anticipate a lackluster contest with a significant emphasis on defensive play, ultimately resulting in a goalless draw.
