Olympique Beja vs Metlaoui Prediction: Will Beja end their poor performances?

Stade Municipal Salih Al Mirdasi will host the week 13 Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 encounter between Olympique Beja and Metlaoui. Metlaoui secured a crucial win at home the last time these two teams met. Can Olympique Beja turn the tables?

Olympique Beja

Olympique Beja took on Stade Tunisien the previous time out and lost. In a game that ended 3-0, Olympique Beja conceded in each half. Nacef Atoui's strike put his side in the lead in the first half. However, second-half strikes from Youssef Saafi and Wael Ouerghemmi denied Olympique Beja a point in that game. 

However, Olympique Beja have failed to win any of their last seven matches. In that run, Olympique Beja lost to Zarziz, Monastir, US Tataouine. In the meantime, their best results were against CS Sfaxien, Club Africain and Slimane, which ended in draws in that run. This season, Olympique Beja have 18 points from 12 matches, scoring ten goals and conceding eleven.

Metlaoui

Metlaoui

Metlaoui's last league game was against CS Sfaxien, and they pulled off a win. In a match that ended 2-1, goals from Yosri Arfaoui and Ahmed Mazhoud strikes were enough to see this team take maximum points. However, Metlaoui defeated EGS Gafsa in another encounter while losing to Club Africain.  

Heading into this game, Metlaoui have failed to win their last five road games. Metlaoui's best results were draws against CA Bizertin and JS Omrane in that run. 

This season, Metlaoui have 14 points from 12 matches. In that run, Metlaoui scored nine goals while conceding eleven. 

Expert Betting Tips

The pattern of this game might continue, and I will back Olympique Beja to win this game. While I know this will be a close call, with both teams having an inconsistent and rough run of performances. Yet, I feel luck will be in Olympique Beja's turn this time, having gone through struggling moments in the last months. With Olympique Beja conceding week in and week out, Metlaoui's decent offensive line in recent games should be enough to see this team score.
