US Monastir vs Etoile du Sahel Prediction: The home side stand a better chance of amassing all the points

Us Monastir will strive to secure their first win of the season when they face off against Etoile du Sahel at the Mustafa Ben Jannat Stadium on Thursday. The home side will be keen to console their fans with a decent performance on their ground following their elimination from the CAF Champions League. 

Mohamed Sahli's men began their journey with a negative (0-0) stalemate against CA Bizertin on the road. US Monastir failed to take their chances as they rested some of their key players for their Champions League game. 

US Monastir wrapped up their campaign in the second spot on the log following their victory over CS Sfaxien. It was a fantastic season for US Monastir, who picked up the Champions League ticket after missing the previous campaign. US Monastir have found the back of the net seven times in this competition, conceding twice over their last eight matches. 

The hosts hope is to make the top two in the championship group after their recent recruitment, and we expect them to fight here. 

The Red and White have picked up from where they stopped last season, losing their opening game against Olympique Beja. The defeat means it has been five games without a breakthrough in all competitions. The guests scored just before the break, which was enough to secure them the maximum points. 

Etoile du Sahel had one of their worst seasons ever, finishing fifth in the championship round. They failed to win any of their ten games in the round, sharing the spoils seven times.

The Red and White are among the most successful teams in the Tunisian League but have struggled in recent seasons. 

Etoile du Sahel head here with a new coach, Hammadi Daou, who was the former Stade Tunisien manager. They have also signed some players in the summer and are expected to finish strong this season.

Over their previous twenty meetings, Etoile du Sahel have won ten while US Monastir have recorded five victories and five matches ending in a tie. 

The hosts haven’t won against the guests' side in the last four meetings; however, they’re in a better shape to break the jinx. 

US Monastir were wasteful in their previous game and will be more effective in front of goals this time; bet on a home win or draw and under 2.5 goals.

US Monastir won’t hold back at halftime; bet on halftime win for 2.61.

We expect a correct score of (2-0) to surface here for 7.30.

Good luck!
