TP Mazembe vs US Monastir Prediction: We hope to see more than two goals here

On Sunday, the Ravens will lock horns with Northern African-based US Monastir at the Stade du TP Mazembe Stadium. US Monastir are a newcomer in this tournament, while the home side head here as one of the top four experienced teams in this competition.

The home team kicked off their opening game with a convincing (3-1) victory over Real Bamako from Mali. The Ravens suffered their first defeat in this tournament as they were totally outclassed by Young Africans. TP Mazembe had more shots than the home side but ended up on the losing end.

The Ravens are the third most successful team in the CAF champions league but failed to qualify following their defeat against Viper. TP Mazembe are not a novice here as they have won the tournament back to back in 2016 and 2017.

The Ravens have been poor since the commencement of the new season in Vodacom Ligue 1; they have won four, drawn three and lost twice.

The visitors commenced their CAF journey with a convincing victory over Young African before securing a point on the road against AS Real Bamako in Mali. US Monatsir leads the group with four points and stand a better chance of advancing to the next round than any other team. US Monastir's first appearance was in the 2020/2021 season when they finished third in the Tunisian Professional League and secured the ticket to this year's edition after coming second last campaign. US

Monastir have enough experience to finish strong in this tournament as they have played the best side, Al Ahly and RSB Berkane, in the qualifying round.

TP Mazembe used to be a force in this competition, but their form has been staggering in recent games. Even at that, they have won at home and gave Young Africans a run for their money on the road. It’s going to be a tough duel against the North African side; however, we expect them to win comfortably here for 1.75.

The visitors have shown they can score against any side, and we are backing them with a goal here; bet on BTTS for 2.25.

We expect a total of 2.5 goals here for 2.40.

Good luck!
