Olympique Beja vs CS Sfaxien Prediction: Beja will face a tough contest at home

Stade Azaiez Jaballah will be the venue for round 22 of the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 encounter between Olympique Beja and CS Sfaxien. The two teams are coming off a defeat. Which team gets things right here? Below, I preview this game and offer predictions. 

Olympique Beja

Olympique Beja's last league game was against Club Africain and they lost. In a game that ended 2-0, a second-half brace from Hamdi Labidi was enough to see their opponent take maximum points. In the meantime, that defeat was Olympique Beja’s lone defeat in their last six matches. In other encounters, this team drew JS Omrane, Ben Guerdane, and Esperance Tunis, while they picked up wins over EGS Gafsa and AS Gabes. Heading into this game, Olympique Beja have 28 points from 21 matches, leaving them in 9th spot. 

CS Sfaxien

CS Sfaxien's last league game ended in a defeat and they will hope to do better here. In a 1-0 encounter, Moemen Rahmani's strike in the second half was enough to see their opponent take maximum points. However, that defeat was CS Sfaxien’s second in a row, having lost to Club Africain in a prior encounter. In the meantime, CS Sfaxien have lost two of their last five road matches. In other encounters, CS Sfaxien defeated EGS Gafsa and Ben Guerdane and drew CA Bizertin. In the meantime, CS Sfaxien have accumulated 28 points from 21 matches, leaving them seated 8th in the standings. 

Expert Betting Tips

CS Sfaxien have been struggling lately, but the overall level of play is around average. While Olympique Beja have been playing well lately, I believe they have a chance at home in this one. In the meantime, CS Sfaxien have not had an easy job on the road in this fixture and I do not trust them. The two teams have their qualities, and at home, I feel Olympique Beja will secure a win in what should be a low-scoring one.
