Gabes vs CA Bizertin Prediction: A draw will satisfy both teams

Gabes will take on CA Bizertin at Stade du Zrig in round nine of the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1. Both teams suffered a defeat in their last league game. How will this encounter unfold?

Gabes lost to Esperance Tunis the previous time out and will look to do better here. In that game, Mohamed Camara found the back of the net for this side in the 34th minute to level the scores after Raed Bouchniba had put their opponent in the lead, but Koussay Maacha’s 44th-minute strike denied them a point. Heading into this game, Gabes have lost three of their last five games, picking eight points in 8 matches. 

CA Bizertin's last encounter was against Etoile Sahel, and they lost. In that encounter, goals from Salah Ghedamsi and Ghofrane Naouali gave their opponent the lead, and an Alaeddine Bouallegui strike could only reduce their deficit. However, this team has not won any of their last five matches. In the league this season, CA Bizertin have four points from a possible 12, leaving them seated 14th. 

CA Bizertin are the better team, but being on the road will be a big job. While Gabes have been inconsistent this season, I expect them to be at their best this time. Expect this one to be competitive. However, I believe this game will end with few goals, with both teams expected to focus on defensive play, while a draw will be enough at full-time.
