Esperance ST vs Chebba Prediction: Home win is sacrosanct

On Wednesday, Champions Esperance ST will begin their title defense with a matchup against Chebba at the Stade Olympique de Radès. The home side will certainly want to win their first game of the season with a significant margin just to send a message to other teams in the league.

The home side secured their 32nd Tunisian Professional League title last season after picking up twenty-four points in ten games. They have won the CAF title four times, the most recent in 2019. They were knocked out by Algerian side ES Setif in the competition's quarter-finals last season.

Esperance Tunis were lucky to have been crowned the champions after a tight contest with runner-up US Monastir. Two points separated both sides after they left the title fight until the final day, with Esperance winning it late in the 97th minute of their last game.

Esperance Tunis heads into this game as the favorite and will hopefully win at home.

They kicked off the season with a win and a loss this season. The first game was a (3-0) home win; however, they were beaten at home by US Tataouine.

The visitors ended this round last season with thirteen points from a possible forty-two after winning just three games.Chebba was relegated from the league but still retained its stay in the division. It’s unknown what transpired but let’s see how far they can go this season.

The last three matchups have ended in two wins and a draw for Esperance ST. The home side head into this game after their triumph in the CAF Champions League, and we expect them to win at halftime for 1.70.

We expect to see goals here; bet on a total of over 2.5 goals for 2.10.

Esperance ST will score in both halves for 2.20.

Good luck!
