A home win is expected from this fixture if the league table is anything to judge by. The home fans are optimistic that the difference between 2nd and 12th place in the table will show on the pitch.
Monastir and Kairouan 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.
Monastir form and stats
Perfect Ligue 1 season at home so far for Monastir 3 wins from 3 appearances. Monastir are on a three game winning streak in their home games.
The home team returns to Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet after sharing the points with Metlaoui (placed 13th) on their last time out; the Ligue 1 game ended 2-2. 1-1 away at Hammam-Lif before that.
A decent goal production from Monastir in their home games so far, with 5 goals from 3 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Monastir have only let in 1 goal at home.
Kairouan form and stats
Kairouan are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the Ligue 1, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (1 win, 0 draws and 2 losses). With the Kairouan losing streak of five defeats in a row, regardless of arena, optimism is low and sinking. Kairouan has lost their two previous away games and are eager to kill a negative trend in its infancy.
The manager M. Okbi was unhappy after their last game, a Ligue 1 match played at their home ground Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet. Kairouan suffered a 1-3 loss to Chebba (placed 8th). A 0-2 defeat away at Club Africain before that.
Kairouan are seemingly not capable of scoring regularly on their travels in the league. They have only managed 1 goal from 3 away games. As opposed to that, Kairouan have seen the ball go into their own net 4 times on the road.
Head 2 Head
Numbers for the last ten meetings between these two teams are: 3 wins for Monastir, 3 draws and 4 wins for Kairouan. Over 2,5 goals: 6 times; under 2,5 goals: 4 games.Top Goalscorers
