ES Metlaoui vs AS Gabes FC Prediction: The perfect opportunity for the hosts to return to winning ways

ES Metlaoui will lock horns against AS Gabes at the Stade Municipal de Metlaoui Stadium on Wednesday with the aim of returning to winning ways. The guests, who are unbeaten in their last two games will be poised to maintain their momentum against the hosts. 

ES Metlaoui (8th)

Last five matches: DWLWL

Imed Ben Younes' men surrendered to a loss on the road against Etoile du Sahel. They tried to get back in the game after conceding twice at the break; unfortunately, they couldn’t find the leveller as they bowed to a (2-1) defeat. They have been unlucky with fixtures lately, having played the top four teams in the division. This was after their emphatic (2-0) win over CA Bizertin at home. 

The home side have been struggling to find consistency, with two wins from their last six matches, although they have recorded five victories across their previous ten. ES Matlaoui have scored nineteen goals this season, of which 90% was on their ground, and they have found the back of the net five times over their last four matches. 

ES Metlaoui have won five and drawn five over their last ten home games. 

AS Gabes (11th)

Last five games: LLLDW

After twelve games without a breakthrough, AS Gabes picked up the maximum points against Stade Tunisien on their ground. After seven consecutive matches without a goal, Tajeddine Salem converted from a penalty kick to hand his side the maximum points against their struggling opponent. It was a decent game, especially after their tie against AS Soliman on the road. 

The visitors have secured four points over their last five matches in the division. AS Gabes have kept two clean sheets in their last seven league matches.

AS Gabes have picked up eighteen points from a combined sixty-six, scoring fourteen and conceding seventeen. AS Gabes have lost eight, drawn twice and won once on the road this season. 

Expert Betting Tips

Over their previous ten games, ES Metlaoui have managed five wins while AS Gabes have won four and a game ending in a tie. The guests head here after a decent performance against Stade Tunisien on their ground. AS Gabes have been pretty decent in their last two matches, winning once and sharing the spoils in a game. On the other hand, ES Metlaoui might be struggling in the league, but they are a good side at home, and we think they’ll give the guests a run for their money here. 

We believe the host team poses a more significant threat in this encounter, and I believe they secure the maximum points here. They have been unlucky with their fixtures lately, and they’ll be at their best against the guests who have managed just a win in eleven away games; bet on a home win for 1.93 at (Betway).

Since 2016, teams playing at home have won or at least drawn in this fixture. ES Metlaoui have not lost at home this season, and I expect them to score before the break for 1.91 at (1xbet)

I expect the hosts to win with a correct score of (2-0) for 7.40 at (Bet365).

Good luck!
