Olympique Béja form and stats

The home supporters have been following results with a growing disbelief as Olympique has racked up an amazing five draws in a row here at their own stadium. How long will this continue?

It's back home for Olympique Béja, who return with a good feeling about themselves after beating Rejiche away with the result 1-0. Before that, Olympique played out a draw 2-2 when visiting Stade Tunisien.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Olympique Béja have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found one game) they have won zero times, drawn zero and lost one.

Kairouan form and stats

Kairouan failed to get anything from their last game, a Ligue 1 home match vs Stade Tunisien (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 0-4. A 1-2 loss hosting Club Africain before that.

Kairouan lost the plot completely in their previous game, as mentioned above. They need to recover quickly from that 0-4 beating and focus on this one.

We have checked recent matches where Kairouan have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those five games were one victory, zero draws and four defeats.

Head 2 Head

Head-to-head totals (for the last nine meetings): Olympique won two games, three matches ended with a draw and Kairouan has four wins. Over 2,5 goals / under 2,5 goals: three / six
