Faouzi Benzarti’s men have taken a great stride in their bid to win the league since 2016. Etoile du Sahel have been fantastic since the beginning of this round and have won six, drawn three, and lost just once. They stood their ground against oppressor Esperance ST to secure a point. Etoile du Sahel created lots of chances but failed to get a shot on target. Etoile du Sahel are far better than last season, and we can see them competing against the top guns in the CAF Champions League next year.

Club Africain Tunis (2nd)
Last five games: DWWDD
Said Saibi men have commenced the league in great form and are unbeaten over their last six games. Club African have scored the second most goals this season while conceding six times. Club Africans have missed their chances to challenge Etoile at the top of the log with back-to-back draws. Club African came from a goal down to secure a point at home against US Monastir after their shocking (2-2) against a poor US Tataouine. Club Africain have been a top side in the Tunisian league but have declined massively in recent years. They will be hopeful of returning to intercontinental football this season, having picked up twenty-three points from a possible thirty-three. Club Africain have won two and drawn three away from home this season.
Etoile du Sahel have won eleven while Club Africain have recorded four victories and five games ending in a tie over their previous twenty meetings. Etoile du Sahel won the first leg on the road against Club Africain. The visitors are the second-best away side in the division, and they are yet to lose on the road. However, they have shown weakness in both of their recent matches, coming from a goal down to get a point. Etoile du Sahel will be crowned the champions with a win, while the visitors are eyeing a return to continental competition. Etoile du Sahel stand a better chance here after their poor performance at home in their most recent game against Esperance ST; bet on a home win or draw and under 2.5 goals for 1.98.
This encounter have witnessed less than two goals over their previous six meetings; bet on under 1.5 goals for 2.90.
We expect the home side to strike first here for 1.53.
Good luck!
