Stade Tunisien vs US Monastir Prediction: Both teams will be pleased with a point apiece

After failing to win any of their last five games of the round, Stade Tunisien will be poised to return to winning ways when they lock horns against US Monastir at the Stade Hedi Enneifer on Saturday. The visitors are yet to concede against the hosts in five tries and we expect them to keep up with the momentum here. 

Stade Tunisien (5th)

Last four games: LDDDD

The hosts have had a tough start to the season, heading here without a win in five games. They remain one of the three teams without a win in this round, and their dreams of playing continental football keep slipping away. Stade Tunisien head here with a share of the spoils against Club Africain on the road, denying the hosts lots of goal-scoring chances. 

After failing to make the championship round last season, Hammadi Daou's men will be keen to secure themselves a spot in the elite group. Stade Tunisien have picked up five points from a combined twelve and have scored once over their last four games. Stade Tunisien are yet to register a win in this round on their home turf. 

US Monastir (2nd)

Last four games: DLWD

Mohamed Kouki's men are the only team to have found the back of the net against Esperance ST as they came from a goal down to split points on their ground. The (1-1) stalemate was their second since this round began, and such a result against a decent team means a lot to the players. 

US Monastir have found the back of the net twice in this competition, conceding two times as well over their previous four matches. 

US Monastir have sold their highest goalscorer, Boubacar Traore which has hindered their ability to get goals in this competition. The visiting side's hope is to make the top two in the championship group after failing to finish in the top four last season.
