Olympique Beja vs Gafsa Prediction: Beja expected to take all three points

The relegation group match in the Tunisia Professionnelle Ligue 1 featuring Olympique Beja and Gafsa is scheduled to be held at Stade Azaiez Jaballah. Prior to this match, both teams achieved victories against their opponents in their previous encounters. Which side will maintain their momentum in this game?

Olympique Beja secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Ben Guerdane in their recent league fixture, clinching an away win. The first half of the match concluded without any goals, but a decisive strike by Mohamadou Bah in the 56th minute proved to be enough for Olympique Beja to claim all three points. As they prepare for their next match, Olympique Beja are riding a wave of success, having won their last three league games and maintaining an unbeaten streak in their last five matches. In addition to their triumph over Ben Guerdane, they also secured victories against AS Marsa and Metlaoui, while settling for draws against Bizertin and US Tataouine. Currently positioned third in the relegation group with 14 points from six games, Olympique Beja have scored seven goals while conceding four during this period.

Gafsa bounced back to winning form last weekend by securing a 1-0 victory over Metlaoui. Despite only managing to secure a point in the first half, they clinched all three points thanks to a second-half goal from Noel Agbre in the 64th minute, scored from the penalty spot. However, this win marked only Gafsa's second victory in their last five matches, with another win against Bizertin. During this period, they suffered defeats against AS Marsa, Slimane, and US Tataouine. Consequently, Gafsa currently occupy the seventh position out of eight teams in the relegation group, sharing the same points as Ben Guerdane and Slimane, who are in fifth and sixth place, respectively.

This match holds significant importance for both teams, particularly for the visitors who are striving to avoid relegation. However, the home team, Olympique Beja, has been in impressive form in their recent games, having not suffered any losses in their last five matches. On the contrary, Gafsa, the visiting team, has already faced three defeats during this period. Although Gafsa has secured three wins in their last four meetings compared to Beja's one, I believe the momentum favors the hosts this time around, considering their current form. While I anticipate a closely contested match, I predict a low-scoring victory for Olympique Beja, who enter the game as strong favorites.
