Monastir vs Olympique Beja Prediction: A low goal scoring contest

In the second round of the Championship Group encounter, which will take place at Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet, Monastir will play host to Olympique Beja. The host team have been going through a rough patch leading up to this match, while the away team, Beja, are coming off a 2-0 victory over US Tataouine.

In their prior matches, Monastir had one victory against Tataouine, three defeats at the hands of Etoile du Sahel, Club Africain, and Ben Guerdane, and a tie with Esperance Tunis. Those matchups saw Monastir score five goals while giving up eight. During the current league season, Monastir have scored a total of 1.21 goals on average per match. This season, Monastir has maintained an average possession of the ball of 52.00%, which indicates that they are good at maintaining the ball.

Olympique Béja comes into this match having won two of their most recent five matches against ES Tunis and Tataouine, lost to Club Africain and Ben Guerdane, and drawn with CS Sfaxien. The away team only managed to score four goals while giving up two in that span. Olympique Béja scored an average of 1.5 goals per match while playing on the road, while also allowing an average of 1. Olympique Béja have a very strong possession of the ball, as evidenced by their overall average of 52.88% throughout this season.

Monastir and Olympique Béja have met 18 times in previous seasons, with Monastir winning 8 games and Olympique Béja winning 7 games. A draw decided three of the games in total. In those matchups between the two teams, Monastir scored 19 goals, while Olympique Béja only managed to score 16.

The standard of play displayed by the home team have significantly declined, and despite the fact that the bookies are giving them an advantage due to the fact that they are playing at home, the prospects of them securing a win are minimal. On the other hand, considering how dangerous Olympique Beja have been as of late, we can anticipate that they will be an extremely dangerous opponent here as well. It is for this reason that a wager on under 2.5 goals could be considered, given that the game is anticipated to result in a draw as both teams have solid defensive units.
