ES Metlaoui vs Club AfricainPrediction, probable lineups, recent form & season stats

Across their last six matches in league and cup, ES Metlaoui posted two wins, two draws and two losses, including a 0-1 defeat away at ES Zarzis on 9 May. Club Africain, on the other hand, go into this one on a five-game unbeaten run in official fixtures, three wins and two draws, the latest a 1-1 draw with Olympique Béja. The head-to-head record also tilts toward the visitors: across the last six meetings Club Africain have won four, with a single win for ES Metlaoui and one draw completing the picture. This is matchday one of the new Tunisian Ligue 1, so there is no league scoring average to reference yet. The prediction may change in the hours before kick-off. Confirmed line-ups, late injuries, suspensions, rotation ahead of other fixtures and the state of the pitch and the weather can all alter the picture described above. In those cases the selection may be reviewed and updated within 12 to 24 hours of the match: this happens rarely, but when it does, the version published on this page is always the current one.
