Esperance ST vs Zamalek Prediction: The home side won’t hold back at halftime

On Saturday, the Tunisian heavyweight will lock horns with Zamalek at the Stade Hammadi Agrebi Stadium. The visitors head here without a win since this tournament began, while the home side can win three consecutive games.

Esperance ST (1st)

Last two games: WW

Nabil Maaloul's team ensured a late win in their opening game against stubborn Al Merreikh at home to assume the second spot on the log. The result was followed by another tremendous victory on the road against CR Belouizdad.

The Blood and Gold side are the most successful team in the Tunisia Professional League, with thirty-one (31) league titles. They have won the Tunisia Cup fifteen times while securing the Tunisia Super Cup six times. They have triumphed in the CAF Champions League four times and are the second most successful in the competition's history.

Nabil Maaloul's men almost lost their champions league group spot to Plateau United; however, a dodgy penalty awarded them helped secure a ticket to this round. Since that terrible performance, Esperance ST have improved massively, and we can see them finishing strong in this tournament.

Zamalek (4th)

Last two games: LD

The White Knights have been nothing but a disappointment in this tournament; they have drawn once and lost once.

The five-time CAF Champions League winner began their champions league campaign with a defeat at home against CR Belouizdad; however, they secured a point on the road against Al Merreikh of Sudan. Zamalek's hope of making it out of this group lies in their result as they sit at the bottom of the table.

Expert Betting Tips

The last five meetings have seen Esperance ST with three wins and Zamalek with two victories. Esperance ST hasn’t lost to Zamalek at home before, and this fixture won’t be an exemption. Zamalek's away game against Al Merreikh was not convincing enough, as the home side fired twenty-two shots but failed to find the back of the net. If Zamalek gives Esperance such possibilities, they might be down by four goals or more. Regardless of how the visitors are being set up, they won’t get a win here; bet on a home win for 1.92.

We expect the home side to win and score more than once for 2.30.

Bet on a home halftime win for 2.50.

Good luck!
