On Wednesday, US Monastir will lock horns against Etoile du Sahel at the Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet. The hosts will hope to take advantage of the visitors' dip in form, even though they have struggled against them in their last two meetings.

Mohamed Kouki's men wrapped up their ground game in the second spot after failing to win their last two games. US Monastir won eight, lost twice, and drew two games in their entire run in the group. The defeats came against Esperance ST in both legs.
US Monastir are yet to play any competitive games since the third of January and have sold their highest goalscorer, Boubacar Traore. The hosts hope to make the top two in the championship group after failing to finish fourth last season.
Etoile du Sahel
The Red and White wrapped up the Tunisian League One at the top of the log, winning seven, sharing the spoils four times, and losing once. However, Etoile du Sahel have not replicated such form in the Champions League as they were knocked off the competition after losing their final group game against Petro Luanda.
The Red and White are among the most successful teams in the Tunisian League but have struggled with form lately.
Expert Betting Tips
Over their previous twenty meetings, US Monastir have won six while Etoile du Sahel have won ten and four games ending in a draw. US Monastir enjoyed themselves in the group stage, winning eight from their twelve matches. They also scored more than any team in the group, finding the back of the net twenty-two times. However, both Zied Aloui and Boubacar Traore were sold after scoring fifteen goals for the Monasteries. They have invested the funds diligently, acquiring the services of Elhadji Fall and Raed Jaziri. On the opposing end, Etoile du Sahel have been below par lately and are without a win in their last three games. They have lost the Tunisian Super Cup and were eliminated from the CAF Champions League in two months.
The hosts have not really worked on their defense, which is a huge concern here; however, they are the closest to securing the maximum points. I’d rather settle for a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals to be on the safe side.
We expect the hosts to take advantage of their opponent, who are currently low on self-confidence; bet on a home win for 2.10.
We expect both teams to get a goal apiece for 2.23.
Good luck!
