Metlaoui vs AS Marsa Prediction: A win for the hosts is safe

In the upcoming Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 fixture, Metlaoui and AS Marsa will face off at Stade Municipal de Métlaoui. Let's dive into the match previews and make a prediction for this encounter.

In their recent matches, Métlaoui has struggled to secure a victory, and as they approach this upcoming match, they will be hoping for a better result. During this period, they faced defeats against Esperance Tunis, CS Sfaxien, Monastir, and CA Bizertin. Their most favorable outcome was a goalless draw against US Tataouine on the road. Across these fixtures, Métlaoui managed to score two goals but conceded 11. In terms of average goals per match, Métlaoui stands at 0.91 for the current league season. However, they face challenges in ball possession, maintaining an average possession of 40.38%.

AS Marsa heads into this match without securing a win in their recent five encounters. Notably, they have faced defeats against CS Sfaxien, Monastir, CA Bizertin, Esperance Tunis, and US Tataouine, failing to register a victory this season. Across these matches, AS Marsa scored only one goal but conceded 11. In away games, they averaged 0.27 goals scored per match and 1.64 goals conceded. The team accumulated 19 yellow cards and 2 red cards due to disciplinary issues. AS Marsa also faces challenges in ball possession, maintaining an average possession of 46.33% overall this season.

Both teams may not be playing at a high level, but the visiting AS Marsa is considered the weaker of the two. Consequently, with Metlaoui anticipated to be stronger and deliver a better performance on their home turf, I am supporting them to secure a victory. Additionally, I expect this to be a competitive match, with both teams likely to perform well in front of goal.
