Slimane vs Ben Guerdane Prediction: The two teams are struggling

Stade de Soliman will be the venue for the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 encounter between Slimane and Ben Guerdane. Following a win in their last match, both teams will head into this game, hoping for a win. Which side gets things right again?

Slimane extended their unbeaten run to three the previous weekend against Gabes, ending in a 1-2 win. In that game, Slimane needed to come from behind, thanks to Amenallah El Majhed’s brace, cancelling Houcine Mansour’s early lead in the first half for Gabes. In the meantime, this team had settled for goalless draws against Etoile Sahel and CA Bizertin in prior encounters. This season, Slimane have five points from five matches, averaging one point per game, as they sit 10th in the league’s log. 

Ben Guerdane secured their first win of the season against US Tatatouine, which ended 2-0. In that game, two second-half goals were enough to seal the first points for this side, with Nassim Sioud’s strike putting them in the lead before a 72nd-minute own goal by Noumory Keita. In the meantime, this team suffered a consecutive run of defeats in their first four matches, coming against Club Africain, CS Sfaxien, Olympique Beja, and Monastir. Heading into this game, Ben Guerdane sit 14th in the league’s log, scoring three goals and conceding six. 

It is tough to pick a winner in this game, looking at how weak these teams are struggling. While Ben Guerdane have won this fixture consecutively in this fixture, Slimane will have a lot to do at home. With this game expected to be another low-scoring one, looking at how weak offensively they are, I am backing this game to end with a few goals. Also, with Ben Guerdane being a good side in this game, I expect them to secure a hard-fought victory.
