US Tataouine vs Gafsa Prediction: A close outcome is expected

The teams US Tataouine and Gafsa are set to clash at Stade Néjib Khattab in a match of the relegation group round in the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1. This marks the inaugural encounter between these two teams. How will this match end?

In their recent matchups, US Tataouine secured victories over AS Marsa twice, with scorelines of 0-1 and 2-1 respectively. However, the home team has maintained an undefeated streak in their last five games. Encounters against Métlaoui, Olympique Béja, and Ben Guerdane all resulted in draws. Throughout these matches, US Tataouine netted three goals and conceded just one. They currently boast an average of 0.5 goals per match in the ongoing league season. In terms of discipline, the home team received 16 yellow cards and one red card. Notably, Tataouine struggles with ball retention, holding an average possession of 46.00% in the current season.

Gafsa comes into this match fresh off a victory in their latest league encounter against Bizertin. However, preceding this win, Gafsa faced setbacks, losing to Ben Guerdane, AS Marsa, and Slimane, with one match ending in a draw against Ben Guerdane. During this stretch, Gafsa managed to score only one goal but conceded a total of 8. In their away games, Gafsa averaged 0.75 goals scored per match and conceded 1.5. The team accumulated 19 yellow cards and one red card due to disciplinary actions. Gafsa's ball possession has been less than stellar, with an overall average of 43.13% in this season.

This match is anticipated to be closely contested, with both teams expected to compete fiercely. Nevertheless, US Tataouine holds the advantage with a more balanced side and better form heading into the game. Despite Gafsa's recent victory against Bizertin, it's challenging to underestimate their potential.

US Tataouine's strength in defense has been notable, and adopting a more offensive strategy in this match might enable them to secure a 1-0 victory.
