Esperance ST vs US Monastir Prediction: This fierce contest won’t deprive us of goals

ON SATURDAY, Esperance ST will face off against US Monastir at the Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi Stadium. Both sides head here without defeat since the season began, and we expect an end-to-end encounter in this fixture.

Last four games: WDWW

The Gold and Blood are unbeaten this season but have been very poor, considering the quality of their squad. Even though they won three of their last three games, Esperance ST have struggled in all but one of those encounters. Taraji head here following their (0-1) victory over Sportif Sfaxien on the road. The win was one of the biggest in a long time, all thanks to their Brazilian Midfielder, Yan Sasse, who broke the deadlock in the 88th minute.

Taraji are unbeaten in their previous nine games on their ground, winning seven while sharing the spoils twice.

Last four games: WWDW

US Monastir have been remarkable since the season began; they have won three and drawn once, scoring ten while conceding five. US Monastir extended their unbeaten run, even though they were two goals down against ES Metlaoui.

The Senegalese midfielder increased his tally when he got a goal before the break, while Chiheb Jebali doubled it before the break to cancel their two-goal deficit. Boubacar Traore snatched the lead for US Monastir in the 97th minute to secure the maximum points for his side. The Senegalese has now scored seven times this season and will be looking to extend it against Esperance ST.

Esperance ST have won twelve while US Monastir have recorded four wins and four games ending in a share of the spoils. Esperance ST will be without a coach for this tough contest after relieving Moin Chaabani from his duties despite taking them to the CAF Champions League group stage. The actions of Taraji management is actually understandable, as teams like them are supposed to be in better shape than they are. On the other hand, US Monastir have an advantage over other top teams this season, as they won’t be participating in continental tournaments. Two of the last three meetings ended in BTTS and over 2.5 goals. Both sides have been vulnerable at the back since the season began, and we have a feeling this fierce contest will end in BTTS.

Esperance ST will be under the guidance of a caretaker, and we feel the players will love to impress the incoming coach just to cement a spot in the squad. The same as US Monastir, who have been very effective in front of goals this season; we expect this encounter to be an open one with goals.

Esperance won’t lose at home; bet on home win for 1.54.

Good luck!
