US Monastir vs ES Zarzis Prediction: The guests can’t be underestimated

On Sunday, US Monastir will face off against ES Zarzis at the Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet Stadium. The hosts will be keen to maintain their nine games unbeaten run against their guests, who have been a menace to top sides in the league this season. 

Last five matches: WWDDW

Mohamed Sahli's men moved to the second spot on the log following their emphatic away win against Olympique Beja. US Monastir took advantage of their opponent's porous defense to score three goals in a game for the first time this season. The (1-3) victory away from home was one of their best performances since the season began. Before then, they had settled for a share of the spoils against Sfaxien and Club Africain. 

US Monastir are among the two teams yet to taste defeat since the season began, and we expect them to keep up with the pace here. 

US Monastir have won three and won once on their ground this season. 

Last five matches: WDWWL

The guests suffered their first home defeat this campaign as they lost (2-3) to Etoile du Sahel. For the first time this campaign, ES Zarzis looked like the shadow of themselves, as they went from two goals up to conceding three times in front of their passionate home supporters. It was a bad day at the office for them as they dropped to the third spot on the log. 

For a newly promoted team, ES Zarzis have been one of the best sides this campaign. ES Zarzis have picked nineteen points from a combined twenty-seven, scoring thirteen and conceding seven. 

ES Zarzis have won twice, lost once, and drawn a game over their last four games on the road. 

Over their previous nine meetings, US Monastir have won three while ES Zarzis have managed two wins and four games ending in a tie. US Monastir not involved in continental football so that this campaign might be a blessing in disguise. They are one of the two teams yet to taste defeat as they maintained their unbeaten run in the league. However, they have a tough game against ES Zarzis, who, despite their recent home defeat, pose more threat than any teams in the division.

The hosts are literally the favorite to win here, but I have a feeling the guests will at least get a goal.

I know it’s a bit risky, but a BTTS and home win might surface here for 2.67.

To be on the safe end, bet on a home win or draw and over 1.5 goals because I can’t see this game producing less than three goals. 

Good luck!
