Competition: Tunisia Ligue 1
Competition: Thu 10.September
Match begins: 15:00 (UTC)
Venue: Stade de Soliman (2000 seats)

This could be an interesting match as Slimane have their presumed home advantage while Monastir are ahead 13 points in the Ligue 1 table.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

6-9-2 (wins/draws/losses). These are the numbers for Monastir when playing away games on artifical turf, which is not the surface they have on their own home stadium (which has grass). Their goal statistics from those 17 matches are 17-10 (scored/conceded).

Slimane are staying put; they can neither be promoted or relegated this season and are fighting only for positions. Monastir are still fighting for the big positions at the top of the table.

Slimane form and stats

When playing at home in the Ligue 1, Slimane have managed 7 wins, 1 draw and suffered 4 defeats from 12 games. Two home wins in a row for Slimane bring valid hopes of a third.

Slimane travelled for their previous game, a trip to Chebba that ended 3-3. Previous to that game, a home match hosting Club Africain in a game that was won 2-0.

Opportunity lost for Slimane in the Chebba match as a lead 2-0 was lost and what looked like a victory ended in a draw. As you can tell by the result above, the goals flowed freely in the previous game and the stadium rocked. Could there be another goal fest today?

The manager S. Gafsi will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Métlaoui in only three days.

Slimane have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stade de Soliman with 18 goals in 12 league matches. Slimane have only conceded 10 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

Monastir form and stats

5-4-3 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Monastir, who have the most scored goals (17) away in Ligue 1, in their Ligue 1 matches away.

Monastir might have something to prove in this game as they lost at home in their previous match. ES Tunis proved too strong as Monastir slumped to a 0-1 defeat in front of their own fans at Stade Mustapha Ben Jannet. Preceding that game, the 1-2 loss visiting CA Bizertin's place.

Monastir were so close to getting something from the game against ES Tunis, but ended up with egg all over their face after conceding the deciding goal four minutes into overtime.

A quick return to home after this game, as Monastir are hosting Ben Guerdane in the Ligue 1 only two days away.

The visiting Monastir have scored more than one goal per away game in the league so far. The grand total is 17 goals from 12 games. It's not easy to score on Monastir as they have only conceded 10 goals from these away games.

Head 2 Head

Monastir - Slimane 0-0 was the story when these teams last met, earlier this season.
