CS Sfaxien vs Constantine Prediction: Both teams will net in this first meeting

Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi will host the CAF Confederation Cup encounter between CS Sfaxien and Constantine. The two teams will come into this game with focus, hoping to take maximum points. Will there be a winner in this one?

CS Sfaxien

CS Sfaxien played US Tataouine the last time out and won 2-0. In that game, Rubin Hebaj and Haythem Ayouni struck for this team to seal maximum points for them. In the meantime, prior encounters to that win saw CS Sfaxien settle for consecutive draws. In that run, two ended goalless with Club Africain and Olympique Beja, and two ended 1-1 with Zarzis and Monastir. Heading into this game, CS Sfaxien have an unbeaten run of six games, winning two of those matches. 

Constantine

Constantine secured a hard-fought victory over USM Alger before this game and will look to show character again. Achref Boudrama's strike was the difference in that encounter, sealing maximum points for this side. However, Constantine have had inconsistent performances in recent games, losing two and winning three of their last five games. In that run, Constantine scored five goals while conceding four. 

Expert Betting Tips

CS Sfaxien are on another level in CAF competitions and I expect them to be at their absolute best in this game. However, visiting Constantine are a tough side to defeat, and I can not write them off. While the two teams have prioritized defensive play, I still believe they will approach this game differently as they look to make it to the next round of this competition. Neither team should want a defeat here; therefore, in a game that could end in a 1-1 draw, a bet on both teams' scoring is the best option.
