This match features two teams living in the basement of the Ligue 1, Kairouan holding 12th place and Métlaoui lying 13th. A good chance for both teams to improve their position.
There should be plenty of energy on the pitch in this game, as both sides have had time to recuperate from their last game. Let's hope both teams are ready to give it all.
This pitch has grass, which is not Métlaoui's usual surface at their own ground. When playing on grass Métlaoui have performed like this: Played 29 matches resulting in 5 wins, 6 draws and 18 defeats with the goal stats 25-49 (scored/conceded).
Kairouan form and stats
Kairouan are yet to produce one single Ligue 1 point here at Stade Hamda Laouani, to the disappointment of their supporters. All 4 matches have been lost. The home stadium (Stade Hamda Laouani) is supposed to be a fortress, but for Kairouan it's been a house of straw as the last four games here have all been lost. Can they turn things around? Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Kairouan with their six defeats in a row. Not since the Ben Guerdane game, 79 days ago, have they avoided a loss.
In their previous game, the manager M. Okbi led his Kairouan to a defeat in the Ligue 1 match away at Monastir. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Stade Hamda Laouani. Preceding that match was the home game against Chebba that was lost 1-3.
The Kairouan fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. Kairouan have conceded 9 goals in these home games, a significant number.
Métlaoui form and stats
