Metlaoui vs Ben Guerdane Prediction: A draw should be a huge outcome for the two sides

Metlaoui and Ben Guerdane are set to compete in a relegation match at Stade Municipal de Métlaoui in the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1. Let's take a closer look at this upcoming encounter and offer a prediction.

In their recent matches, Métlaoui secured one victory against AS Marsa, but faced defeats in three other encounters against AS Marsa, CA Bizertin, and Olympique Béja. They also managed a draw against US Tataouine. Throughout these matches, Métlaoui scored four goals but conceded six.

On average, Métlaoui scored 0.83 goals per match in the current league season. However, they seem to face challenges in ball retention, possessing the ball on average only 41.30% of the time during this season.

Ben Guerdane comes into this match with a mixed recent performance, securing victories in two out of their last five games against Gafsa and Slimane with scores of 5-0 and 1-0, respectively. However, they faced challenges with a road defeat against CA Bizertin and draws against Gafsa and US Tataouine. Across these matches, Ben Guerdane managed to score six goals while conceding only two.

In away games, Ben Guerdane has averaged 1.08 goals scored per match and conceded 0.92. Notably, they maintain good ball possession, boasting an average of 52.14% overall possession for the season.

Considering the recent performances of both teams and the absence of clear signs of top-level play, your expectation of a close encounter is reasonable. In such a situation where both teams might nullify each other's efforts, a prediction of a 1-1 draw at full time appears to be a plausible outcome for this match.
