Metlaoui vs Zarziz Prediction: The visitors will secure a win

Métlaoui Municipal Stadium will host the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 encounter between Metlaoui and Zarziz. Zarzis won the first leg of this fixture. At home, can Metlaoui get the best result here? Below, I preview this game and offer the best betting opportunities. 

Metlaoui

Metlaoui played Stade Tunisien the previous weekend and they drew in a goalless encounter. However, this team has lost only once in their last matches, coming against Slimane in a 1-0 encounter. In the meantime, this team defeated CS Sfaxien, Olympique Beja, and US Tataouine in other encounters, while they drew Monastir. This season, Metlaoui have 22 points from 17 matches, scoring 13 goals and conceding 12, which sees them sit 9th.

Zarziz

Zarziz played EGS Gafsa the previous weekend and secured a win. In a game that ended 1-0, Amir Tajourii's strike in the 45+1 minute was all this team needed to secure maximum points. However, this team has an unbeaten run of eight matches. In that run, Zarziz picked up wins over AS Gabes, Slimane and JS Omrane, while drawing Monastir, Ben Guerdane, US Tatataouine, and Stade Tunisien. This season, Zarziz have accumulated 35 points from 17 matches, which saw them sit third in the standings. Zarziz are just four points adrift of 1st placed Esperance Tunis and a win could take them just one point closer.

Expert Betting Tips

Zarzis remain solid and I do not see them losing despite being on the road. While Metlaoui can not afford to lose at home, looking at their recent performances, I still believe they will struggle a bit against this motivated side. I expect a close contest, and with the two teams expected to be at their best, a bet on both sides scoring is a good one. 

Our first option is a draw no bet for Zarzis with odds at 1.61 on Bet365

Our second option is over 2.5 goals with odds at 3.88 1Xbet 

Our last option is both teams scoring with odds at 2.70 on Betway
