Olympique Béja vs Etoile du Sahel Prediction: The guests are well-positioned to amass all the points

Etoile du Sahel will hope to maintain their eight games undefeated run when they face off against Olympique Beja at the Sousse Olympic Stadium on Saturday. In a bid to finish in the top four this season, the maximum points is not negotiable for the visitors.

Olympique Beja (8th)

Last five games: LDLLD

This is how things can quickly change in football, as a side tipped to challenge for the title at the start of the campaign have now gone nine games without a breakthrough. Recently, Olympique Beja settled for a share of the spoils in a toothless encounter. This time, they were strong defensively but lacked bite in front of goal. Before then, they lost narrowly against ES Metlaoui in front of their home supporters; for this reason, a new coach was appointed, and he would be saddled with the duties of returning Beja to glory. 

Tarek Jarraya’s men dropped to the eighth spot on the standings, ten points ahead of the relegation zone. 

Olympique Beja have won two of their last eight games on their home turf, scoring six and conceding eight. 

Etoile du Sahel (6th)

The visitors head here with back-to-back stalemates as they drop to sixth place on the log. In both games, they had the opportunity to secure the maximum points, but their defence let them down. Recently, they were leading (2-1) against Club Africain but conceded in the 93rd minute against nine men Club Africain. This result makes it difficult for Etoile du Sahel to close the gap on the log, and considering how strong other teams are, they might not make the top four this campaign. 

Since their defeat against Esperance ST, Etoile du Sahel have been up and running, heading here without a defeat in eight league matches. Etoile du Sahel fans have been starved of such momentum for a very long time. 

Etoile du Sahel have picked up twenty-two points from a combined forty-two, scoring eighteen and conceding twelve goals. 

Etoile du Sahel have won three, drawn three and lost once over their last seven games on the road. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous fifteen meetings, Etoile du Sahel have won seven while Olympique Beja have managed three wins and five games ending in a share of the spoils. Olympique Beja are back struggling and have changed three managers already this campaign without a new signing. They have been terrible in front of goal lately, playing five times without finding the back of the net. On the other hand, the guests have worked on their attack but have failed to make their defence work, conceding at least a goal in three of their last four matches. 

Olympique Beja have dominated this encounter in recent meetings, heading here without a defeat in four games. However, their recent form has been below average and the guests will be keen to take advantage of their woes. 

Etoile du Sahel are the favourite here, and I think they’ll secure all the points here; even though it’s risky, I will settle for away HT over 0.5 goals for 2.12 at (Betway).

I also think the guests will amass all the points for 2.00 at (1xbet).

Etoile du Sahel could even win and score more than a goal because of how poor the home team have been lately.

Good luck!
