An important duel in the bottom section of the Ligue 1, with both Olympique Béja and Club Africain experiencing more worry than joy. This match is a classic "six-pointer" with the home team placed 10th and the visitors in 13th place.

Insights:
  • Olympique Béja have yet to win a game at home.

Olympique Béja form and stats

Olympique Béja have played 4 Ligue 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 0-2-2 (wins-draws-losses). Olympique are slowly digging their own grave here at Stade Boujemâa Lekmiti with the depressing streak of not having won a home league game in nine attempts. The last victory here came in the Marsa match. Regardless of arena the trend is looking very unhealthy for Olympique with their four defeats in a row. Not since the Métlaoui game, 25 days ago, have they avoided a loss.

No payout for Olympique in their previous match, an away game at Ben Guerdane that ended in defeat 0-1. Preceding that match was the home game against ES Tunis that was lost 1-4.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Ligue 1 game versus Etoile du Sahel in only four days. This game is also played here at Stade Boujemâa Lekmiti.

The Olympique fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 4 in 4 matches. Olympique have conceded 8 goals in these home games, a significant number.

Club Africain form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Club Africain, who have the fewest clean sheets (0) in Ligue 1, so far with only 4 points returning home. The records show 1-1-4 (win-draw-lose). Three has not been a lucky number for Africain as they have been defeated three times in a row since the Etoile du Sahel match. Africain seem to be suffering from homesickness with two consecutive losses away. Third time lucky?

Africain lost away at ES Tunis (0-1) in their previous game and are perhaps starting to feel homesick. A loss against Monastir was the result prior to that, in a home game.

The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Stade Tunisien in just four days.

The visitors have scored 4 goals from 6 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. As for defending, Africain rarely keep clean sheets as they have conceded 10 goals from these away matches.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last ten meetings): Olympique won zero games, three matches ended with a draw and Club Africain has seven wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / seven
