EGS Gafsa vs AS Marsa Prediction: The hosts are in dire need of the points

After their back-to-back wins in the league, AS Marsa will be keen to upset EGS Gafsa when they lock horns against each other at the Gafsa Measb Stadium on Sunday. 

Last five games: WLWDL

The visitors head here with a decent performance against CA Bizertin on the road, even though it ended in a defeat. They almost secured a point after ninety minutes without a goal until Houssem Habbassi scored for the hosts in the 93rd minute to hand his team the maximum points. The result came after their (0-0) share of the spoils against Olympique Beja away from home. 

They have kept it clean on their ground this season and have won twice and drawn once. The newly promoted team have failed to make their mark in the premier league but are presented with another opportunity to remain in the division if they finish in the top six. 

Last five games: LLLLW

After four consecutive defeats in the division, AS Marsa responded with back-to-back wins. After defeating Ben Guerdane (2-1) at home, they scored three goals against US Tataouine to secure the maximum points. Unfortunately, they might still not survive relegation this campaign as they need other teams to drop points if they are to make the top six. They have conceded the most goals (12) as they languish in the relegation zone. AS Marsa have secured nine points from a possible twenty-four and have failed to keep a clean sheet in seven of their last eight matches. 

Over their previous twelve games, AS Marsa have won four while EGS Gafsa have won six and two games ending in a tie. EGS Gafsa are now unbeaten in their previous four games on their ground, and most of their victories have come at home. On the other hand, the visitors are now winless in four away games but march here with back-to-back wins at home. It’s very difficult for a visiting team to win in this round, and having lost their last game on the road, EGS Gafsa will be keen to secure the maximum points on their ground; bet on a home win for 1.80.

We expect both teams to get apiece here since the visitors' last game witnessed BTTS. 

The hosts will likely win and score more than a goal for 2.34.

Good luck!
