Olympique Beja vs Monastir Prediction: Both sides should score here

Olympique Beja and Monastir will face off at Stade 15 Octobre in this Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 round 13 clash. The two sides picked up wins in their respective matches the last time they played, so they will come into this one with expectations. How will this game turn out?

In their prior games, Olympique Béja defeated CS Sfaxien and Tataouine while falling to Club Africain, Ben Guerdane, and Esperance Tunis. Olympique Béja was able to score four goals while also giving up seven in those matches. In the current league season, Olympique Béja averaged 1.5 goals per game. In terms of discipline, the home team committed 2.05 fouls (on average) each game while receiving 16 yellow cards and one red card. Olympique Béja appears to be adept at maintaining possession, having had an average of 52.88% this season.

In their previous five games, Monastir has won three of them against Tataouine, Esperance Tunis, and Ben Guerdane, lost one against Etoile du Sahel, and drawn one against Club Africain. In those matches, Monastir scored eight goals while conceding five. Monastir averaged 1.21 goals and 0.36 goals against when playing away. Monastir has excellent ball possession, averaging 52.00% of the time so far this year.

With 19 meetings in the previous seasons, Olympique Béja and Monastir have a relatively strong head-to-head record, with Olympique Béja winning 7 games and Monastir taking home 9 victories. Three of the games were drawn. In head-to-head matches, Olympique Béja managed to score 16 goals, while Monastir managed to score 22.

Both teams coming here will want to perform at their highest level; therefore, this should be a difficult match. Although the host club's recent performances indicate they won't leave this match without a fight, the visiting squad does appear to be the superior side. As a result, I anticipate goals from both teams in what I believe to be a competitive game. While the visiting team continues in their pursuit of the CAF competitions, I still think they should triumph.
