US Tataouine vs Ben Guerdane Prediction: A competitive encounter is expected

Stade Néjib Khattab will host this Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 action between US Tataouine and Ben Guerdane. The two sides settled for a goalless draw the last time they met. Will there be a winner in this one?

US Tataouine will be confident of returning back to winning ways following four four-game runs with no victories. In their last league game, this side took on Olympique de Beja and ended up losing 3-0, their third defeat in their last four games. In other games, US Tataouine lost to AS Marsa and Jeunesse Sportive, while they drew Metlaoui. This season in the relegation group of the league, US Tataouine have accumulated 18 points, positioning them 3rd in the standings. 

Ben Guerdane will come into this game hoping for a positive result following a 1-1 draw with Bizertin last out in the league. In that game, Nassim Sioud’s 56th-minute goal for Ben Guerdane was actually enough to see this side take one point from that encounter having been behind through Ibrahima Cissoko’s strike for Bizertin. However, Ben Guerdane have played three successive games with no defeat. In the first two, this team defeated Gafsa and Slimane. Ben Guerdane have accumulated 16 points from 10 matches in the relegation group and are positioned 4th in the standings.

This is an open game for both teams, and we can expect them to display character. However, Ben Guerdane is the better side now, but it is tough to take them on the road. While US Tataouine have struggled in recent weeks, I expect more from them. Therefore, while I do not expect both teams to approach this game with a lot of attacking plays, a bet on a few goals in what should end in a draw is a good option.
