US Tataouine vs Metlaoui Prediction: A low goal scoring contest ahead

In round 8 of the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1, US Tataouine and Metlaoui will square off against one another at the Stade Néjib Khattab. In their most recent match, the home team prevailed over AS Marsa, while Metlaoui's team played to a tie against the same opponent.

Tataouine's past competitions resulted in one victory for them, and that victory came against AS Marsa. On the other hand, during that run, this team was defeated by CS Sfaxien and Bizertin, and their games against Esperance Tunis and Monastir also ended in draws. During those encounters, US Tataouine was only able to score four goals, but they allowed seven goals to be scored against them. During the current league season, Tataouine has scored 0.6 goals on average in every game they have played. The home team was given four yellow cards and one red card for their lack of discipline during the match. This season, US Tataouine has an average possession rate of 45.00%, which indicates that they are unable to hold the ball in their possession for long periods of time.

Métlaoui comes into this match having won just one of their previous five matches, and that victory came against CS Sfaxien. On the other hand, this team was defeated by Esperance Tunis and Monastir, and its games against CA Bizertin and Marsa ended in draws. During that stretch of games, the away team scored six goals but also allowed seven to be scored against them. This season, Métlaoui has had an overall average of 42.20% ball possession. Metlaoui is currently in the fourth slot heading into this match, having accumulated 8 points through six matches.

Due to the fact that both teams are going into this competition with the intention of coming out on top, the game is likely to be tight. However, if we look at their previous encounters against one another, we can see that there were only a few goals scored. As a result, I believe that this one will be a close contest, with the score remaining scoreless.
