US Monastir vs Esperance ST Prediction: This evenly contested game will produce a goal apiece

On Sunday, US Monastir will face off against the defending champions, Esperance ST, at the Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet Stadium. This fixture, which has been widely dominated by Al Taraji in recent meetings, might end in favor of the hosts, considering their unbeaten record this campaign. This is the sort of game where you would expect to see both teams fight, and we expect nothing but an exciting contest here. 

US Monastir (2nd)

Last five matches: WWWDW

Mohamed Sahli's men returned to second place on the log following their emphatic victory over CA Bizertin on their home turf.

US Monastir have picked up thirty-three points from a combined forty-five, scoring twenty and conceding six. 

US Monastir are the only team yet to taste defeat since the season began, and we expect them to keep up with the pace here. 

US Monastir have won six and drawn twice on their ground this season. 

Esperance ST (5th)

Last five games: WDWWD

Al Taraji are back to struggling again as they settled for a share of the spoils against Olympique Beja. Esperance ST were so poor they failed to win against a side who have not won any of their last ten games. Not just that, Esperance ST were unable to overwhelm their opponent, who were also reduced to ten men in the 81st minute as both teams played out a (1-1) tie. 

This was after Esperance recorded a slim (0-1) victory over Sportif Sfaxien on the road. 

Esperance ST have played three league games without defeat, keeping clean sheets in two games. They presently sit in fifth place on the log, seven points behind the top of the log. 

Esperance ST have won four, lost once, and drawn twice over their previous seven away matches.

Expert Betting Tips

Esperance ST have been so inconsistent this campaign, especially against top teams in the division. Their recent performance was a slap on their face as they were unable to take advantage of their ten-man guests. On the other hand, US Monastir have been doing pretty well this season and are the only unbeaten side in the division. 

Regardless of how strong the hosts have been over the years, Esperance have always been the better side. US Monastir can’t ask for a better time to play this fixture than now, as their opponent looks tired, considering the number of games they have played in recent weeks. 

US Monastir have had the best defense this season, conceding six times in fifteen matches. I’m not sure they’ll be able to keep a clean sheet against Esperance who have some serious attacking options in their cart. We expect the guests to get a goal here while the hosts will likely find the back of the net on their home turf; bet on BTTS for 2.65 at (Bet365).

This fixture have produced a BTTS in four consecutive meetings on US Monastir ground, and we expect the hosts to win or draw and get a goal apiece here for 3.60 at (Betway).

I expect both teams to settle for a halftime stalemate here for 1.75 at (1xbet).

Good luck!
