Metlaoui vs Ben Guerdane Prediction: A call to action for the two sides

Métlaoui Municipal Stadium will be the venue for the round 8 encounter of the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 between Metlaoui and Ben Guerdane. The two teams are struggling so far this season and will look to do better. How will this game unfold?

Metlaoui faced defeat the previous weekend against Gabes and will hope to do better here. In that game, Metlaoui settled for a goalless draw at halftime, but a 66th-minute Houcine Mansour strike sealed maximum points for their opponent. In the meantime, Metlaoui have not won any of their recent matches, losing two and drawing three. This season, Metlaoui have accumulated six points from seven games, leaving them seated 11th spot. 

Ben Guerdane's last league game was against Stade Tunisien, and they settled for a goalless draw. In the meantime, that was their second consecutive draw, having settled for a draw with Slimane in a prior encounter. Heading into this game, Ben Guerdane have one win in their last matches, coming against US Tatatouine, while drawing Monastir and Olympique Beja. With five points from seven games, Ben Guerdane sit 13th in the standings. 

Metlaoui are the best shot to bank on this game, looking at the performances of the two teams into this game. While Ben Guerdane have not lost their recent matches, their performances on the road are not proven against difficult opponents. Take this game to end with few goals, given the two teams' poor performances, while Metlaoui take the maximum points.
