US Monastir vs Stade Tunisien Prediction: Both teams will be pleased with a point apiece

On Sunday, US Monastir will face off against Stade Tunisien at the Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet Stadium. This game is one of the most anticipated fixtures of the season as the two unbeaten teams square off in the top-of-the-table clash. 

US Monastir (2nd)

Last five matches: DWDWW

Mohamed Sahli's men maintained their unbeaten run in the league as they scored late to secure all the points against AS Soliman on the road. US Monastir created more than enough but could only get a goal against a defensive opponent. Before then, they returned from a goal down to score four times against US Tataouine at home. US Monastir have picked up twenty-six points from a combined thirty-six, scoring sixteen and conceding five. 

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

US Monastir have won four and drawn twice on their ground this season. 

Stade Tunisien (1st)

Last five matches: DWWWW

The visiting team have now won four consecutive matches in the league as they eye a top-four finish this campaign.

Expert Betting Tips

US Monastir are just a point off the top of the log, and a win here will give them the edge over the league leaders. The hosts have really struggled on their home turf against a well-organised team in this competition. I’m not sure a winner will emerge here, as both teams will be pleased with a point apiece. 

I also think both sides will be careful not to concede first, as it could be hard to rebound in a game of this calibre; bet on a halftime stalemate for 1.71.

This game rarely produces goals, and we think a total of under 1.5 goals will surface here for 2.07.

Good luck!
