Metlaoui vs CS Sfaxien Prediction: Visiting team has the better chance here

In the fourth round of the Tunisian Ligue Professionnelle 1, Metlaoui will face off against CS Sfaxien at the Stade Municipal de Métlaoui. The last time out, the host squad was defeated by Esperance Tunis in a match that ended 3-2 away from home. On the other hand, CS Sfaxien remained on top of the Group B standings after claiming a 3-0 victory against US Tataouine in their own stadium.

The previous games that Métlaoui played resulted in victories for them against US Tataouine and Stade Tunisien, respectively, with respective scores of 2-1 and 1-0. However, the home team was defeated by Esperance Tunis in their most recent encounter, which had a score of 3-2, while both of their games against CA Bizertin and EO Sidi Bouzid finished in ties. The host side's previous two games were played on their home field. Metlaoui was able to score six goals across those encounters, but he also allowed six opponents to score. During the current season of the league, Métlaoui has scored an average of 1.5 goals per contest. The fact that Métlaoui's average possession of the ball during this season was 37.00% demonstrates that he is somehow unable to keep hold of the ball.

CS Sfaxien comes into this match having won three of their most recent five matches against the US In matches that ended 3-0, 2-0, and 1-0, respectively, Tataouine, CA Bizertin, and Marsa were the winners. However, in one of their most recent matches, they were unable to score against Esperance Tunis, and in another of their most recent matches, they were defeated by Al Ittihad by a score of 1-0. During those encounters, the away team scored six goals while only allowing one to be scored against them. When playing away from home, CS Sfaxien averaged two goals scored per game while only allowing 0.2 goals on average. The percentage of time that CS Sfaxien has had possession of the ball throughout this season has averaged out to be a very respectable 57.00%.

It is anticipated that both teams will approach this encounter with the utmost seriousness and a strong desire to emerge victorious. Despite the fact that the home team did not have it easy against Esperance Tunis in their most recent match, the performance of the home team was outstanding considering that they scored twice against a powerful side like Tunis. Because CS Sfaxien has been competitive throughout the entire season and because they played well against Metlaoui, it is difficult to argue against giving them the edge in this matchup.
