Club Africain vs AS Gabes Prediction: The guests stand no chance against the hosts here

David Bettoni's men maintained their four games unbeaten run with a hard-fought stalemate against Etoile du Sahel on the road. Club Africain came back twice to split points against their opponent. In a fast-paced game filled with goals, both sides got two goals apiece as three red cards were awarded. This was after their slim (1-0) victory over CA Bizertin on their home turf.

The guests have been in decent shape lately, heading here with three consecutive shares of the spoils in the league. AS Gabe's march here with a (0-0) stalemate against EGS Gafsa on their home turf in a game of few chances.

Expert Betting Tips

Even though Club Africain have won their last four home meetings against AS Gabes, the guests have at least found the back of the net. The home team head here after receiving two red cards in their (2-2) stalemate against a solid Etoile du Sahel side. Defender Ghaith Zaalouni and second-top striker Hamdi Labidi will not feature against AS Gabes. It’s a huge blow for the host, who hope to close the gap at the top; however, since it’s against AS Gabes, who have lost five in seven away games, they should be fine.

I’m confident this game will produce goals as Club Africain have played out a (2-1) victory over AS Gabes in four consecutive home matches; bet on a home win and over 1.5 goals for 1.71.

I also expect the hosts to at least get a goal before the break for 1.65.

I think this game might produce a (2-0/2-1) correct score.

Good luck!
