This could be an interesting match as Monastir have their presumed home advantage while Etoile du Sahel are ahead 16 points in the Ligue 1 table.
- Monastir have the fewest scored goals in the first half (5) in Ligue 1
- Etoile du Sahel have the most scored goals (38) in Ligue 1
There has not been much time to rest for the guests, as they played a CAF Confederations Cup game only three days ago. That game was also an away game, at CS Sfaxien. It will be interesting to see if they are fully ready and rested for this match, and/or if some changes in the lineup is necessary.
Relegation threatens Monastir who should definitely be looking for some points here.
Monastir form and stats
The story so far in the Ligue 1 for Monastir at their home stadium (Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet) is 4 wins, 4 draws and 3 defeats. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Monastir with their four defeats in a row. Not since the CS Sfaxien game, 20 days ago, have they avoided a loss. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Monastir, their manager A. Gharbi and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.
Monastir haven't scored a league goal since they found the net 212 minutes ago. I. Jelassi scored that one.
The Monastir crowd went home unhappy last time out, seeing their beloved players lose 0-1 to Club Africain here at Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet in a Ligue 1 match. A defeat was the result before that one, 0-3 away at Olympique Béja.
Monastir are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 12 goals in 11 games. From these home matches, Monastir have conceded only 7 goals. It's worth mentioning that 4 of these goals has been conceded in their last 3 home matches.
Etoile du Sahel form and stats
The story so far for the visiting team, who have the most scored goals (38) in Ligue 1, on their Ligue 1 travels is 4 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats.
Drawing 2-2 against CS Sfaxien after 90 minutes last time out was very disappointing after leading the match 2-0. Their manager L. Dridi needs to evaluate why the team couldn't defend their result.
The schedule is very tough for Etoile now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Ligue 1 game at CS Sfaxien is waiting in only four days.
The travelling fans enjoy Etoile du Sahel's attacking play in away games, having scored 13 goals in 8 league matches away. Etoile have conceded 10 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
The two sides played each other earlier this season: Etoile du Sahel - Monastir 3-1. Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: one - two - seven (Monastir wins - draws - Etoile du Sahel wins). As for goals, seven matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), three had two or less.Top Goalscorers
