Metlaoui vs Gafsa Prediction: Bet on goals in this encounter

Stade Municipal de Métlaoui will host the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 encounter between Metlaoui and Gafsa. Gafsa won the last fixture of this encounter. How will this one end?

Metlaoui are coming off a 3-0 defeat at the hands of Ben Guerdane. In that game, Metlaoui conceded first in the 11th minute of the game, with Houssem Habbassi putting Ben Guerdane in the meantime. In the meantime, in the second half, there was a strong play from their opponent, who saw this side concede twice, with Nassim Sioud getting on the scoresheet while Houssem Habbassi also scored his second of the day. Looking at the performances of this team in the relegation standings, Metlaoui have 18 points accumulated from 12 matches, positioning them 6th.

Gafsa were brilliant last weekend against US Tataouine, returning to winning ways in a 3-1 encounter. In that encounter, Gafsa got their goals from Heythem Mhamedi's brace and a 35th-minute strike from Godspower Aniefiok. Gafsa recently has seen them win three, two others coming against AS Marsa and Slimane. In other encounters, Gafsa could only pick a point in their games against Bizertin while they lost to Stade Tunisien. Gafsa have 20 points accumulated from 12 relegation group matches, positioning them 4th in the standings.  

These two teams have not had the best of their performances this season, but they need more strong play to avoid relegation. In both team's recent matches, we have witnessed an average of three goals per match, and looking at these strong offensive but defensive weaknesses, I expect both teams to concede here, while the total number of goals end with high score lines.
