Monastir have traveled here for an interesting CAF Confederations Cup fight against Young Africans. Prepare for the match with this cup preview!
One slightly interesting match fact is that this game is played on artifical turf and that the visiting Monastir have a different surface at their stadium (grass). The impact of this is hard to measure exactly, but the visitors stats on artifical turf is 4-1-4 (win-draw-loss) from nine matches.
Young Africans and Monastir should both be in good shape for this meeting, as there's been enough days for both of them to train and rest since their last matches.

A home win before that, celebrating 1-0 vs Tataouine (after extra-time).As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites.
