At home, can Gafsa replicate their opponent’s performance in the first leg? I will provide full match previews and offer the best betting possibilities below.

EGS Gafsa

EGS Gafsa are coming off a league defeat against Club Africain and will hope for a better result here. In a 2-1 encounter, Noel Agbre's strike was only what this team could take, having conceded twice. Heading into this game, EGS Gafsa have lost their last two games, the first against Zarzis.

In that run, CS Sfaxien defeated AS Gabes and Ben Guerdane, games that ended 1-0 and 0-2, respectively. Away from home, CS Sfaxien have won only one of their last five matches.

Expert Betting Tips

CS Sfaxien have not been a solid side this season in the league, but looking at the level at which EGS Gafsa are performing, they are nowhere near them. Despite being at home, I still feel EGS Gafsa will fail to show quality and rather struggle like in their recent matches. However, while CS Sfaxien have not scored many goals lately, EGS Gafsa's defence has been tight. Yet, this is a game for CS Sfaxien to bounce back to winning ways, and I will confidently back them.
