Metlaoui vs Esperance Tunis Prediction: Visitors will take control here

At the Stade Municipal de Metlaoui, Metlaoui will play host to Esperance Tunis in this round 10 clash of the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1. Visiting Tunis are the favorites to win this matchup. Given that Metlaoui have been winless as of late, do you believe Esperance Tunis will be able to capitalize on this opportunity? 

The only game that Métlaoui won in their prior encounters was the one that was played against Sfaxien. During this time, the home team was defeated by Monastir, although they played to a draw against Bizertin, Marsa, and Tataouine. During the course of those games, Metlaoui was able to score four goals while also allowing six goals against him. During the current season of the league, Métlaoui has scored 1.14 goals on average per game. This season, Métlaoui has only managed an average possession of the ball of 40.33 percent, demonstrating that they are somehow unable to maintain the ball.

As they head into this encounter, Esperance Tunis have won four of their most recent five league matches. Those victories came against Métlaoui, Sfaxien, Monastir, and Bizertin. However, their game against Tataouine resulted in a draw with a score of 1-1. During those games, the away team had a total of 8 goals scored against them while also allowing a total of 6 goals scored against them. When playing away from home, Esperance Tunis scored 1.67 goals per game on average and allowed 0.5 goals per match. As a consequence of the disciplinary proceedings taken, the squad was issued three yellow cards and one red card. This season, Esperance Tunis has maintained a very respectable ball possession percentage of 62.00% on average across the board.

Esperance Tunis is unquestionably the better team, and I anticipate that they will capitalize on the opportunities that they are given here thanks to their more capable and robust roster as well as their improved approach to the contest. Therefore, the outcome of this match should be favorable for the visitors in both of the game's halves.
