Stade Tunisien vs Metlaoui Prediction: A competitive fixture ahead

At El Hédi Enneifer Stadium, Stade Tunisien will play Metlaoui in round 2 of the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1. In their last meeting, Metlaoui secured a shocking win. How will this one unfold?

Stade Tunisien will look to secure their first win of the season after a 2-0 awarded win for Zarzis in their opener. However, the last time out, this team played USM Alger on the road in the CAF Confederation Cup and lost 2-0. In the meantime, despite winning 1-0 at home in the first leg, it was not enough to see this team make it to the next round. Stade Tunisien enter this game with two losses and six wins in their last eight matches.

Metlaoui started their season with a strong result, securing a 2-0 win over Slimane. In that game, Metlaoui scored in each half, thanks to Ahmed Mazhoud and Nassim Chachia’s strikes. In the meantime, it is worth noting that Metlaoui remain unbeaten in recent matches, as they had held Gafsa and Slimane to draws in prior encounters. Entering this game, Metlaoui had only one win in their last four matches, as they ended on the losing end in one of their matches against Ben Guerdane. 

Stade Tunisien, as a clear favorite, should win here. However, looking at the way the previous meetings of this fixture have ended, we might be in for a tough contest. With the focus expected to be on attacking play, I expect many goals in this fixture while Stade Tunisien takes maximum points.
