US Monastir vs Club Africain Prediction: This tough matchup will end in favour of the home team

The hosts believe they stand a chance to play in the CAF Champions League next season, and to do that, they must leave no stone unturned when they face off against Club Africain at the Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet. The hosts have lost once since the beginning of the campaign, while the visitors march here without a breakthrough over their last four games.

Mohamed Kouki's men dropped to the third spot on the log following their toothless stalemate against Etoile du Sahel on the road. The share of the spoils was their fourth in six games, and they need to do better if they are to play continental football. US Monastir have found the back of the net twice in this competition, conceding two times as well over their previous six matches. 

US Monastir have sold their highest goalscorer, Boubacar Traore which has hindered their ability to get goals in this competition. The visiting side's hope is to make the top two in the championship group after failing to finish in the top four last season.

Unfortunately, the hosts might not return to the continental tournament, having won once in their last six matches. More recently, they suffered a shocking home defeat as they were overwhelmed by the visiting Sfaxien young team. It was one of their first biggest losses since January last year. 

After a great start to the season, which saw them go games unbeaten, Club Africain have struggled in this round, heading here without a win in four matches. Even with new recruitments and a new tactician, Mondher Kebaier, nothing has changed since he took the job. They currently occupy the last spot on the log with the hope of playing CAF Champions League football next season. Club African have drawn twice and lost once away from home this season. 

Over their previous twenty meetings, Club Africain have won eight while US Monastir have recorded six wins and six games ending in a tie. Both teams have struggled in this round, but US Monastir stand a better chance, having played better than their opponent in previous games. The visitors will be keen to bounce back from their recent home defeat and put up a decent performance against the hosts. However, we think US Monastir will see this game as one of their options to close the gap at the top of the log. We expect the hosts to secure the maximum points here for 1.93.

We expect both teams to get a goal apiece for 2.40.

A win and over 1.5 goals is possible for the hosts.

Good luck!
