Esperance ST FC vs AS Soliman FC Prediction: A win is nonnegotiable for the hosts against their guests

Esperance ST are presented with another opportunity to close the gap at the top of the log when they face off against AS Soliman FC at the Stade Olympique Hamadi Agrebi Stadium on Sunday. This is a crucial game for the hosts, who must win to assume the top spot. At the same time, the guests will be keen to secure back-to-back wins. 

Esperance ST (2nd)

Last five games: WWDWW

Al Taraji are up to second spot on the log despite their ups and downs this campaign. Esperance ST picked up another win on the road, defeating US Tataouine (0-2) on the road. First-half goals from Achref Jebri and Amine Ben Hamida were all they needed to secure all the points. Esperance ST have been up and running lately, and after their decent run of nine games without a defeat, we expect a positive outcome in this clash. 

Esperance ST have played two league games without defeat, keeping clean sheets in both games. They presently sit in second place on the log, a point behind the top of the log. 

Esperance ST have won three and drawn four games over their previous seven home matches. 

AS Slimane (11th)

Last five games: LWLLW

The guests returned to winning ways, defeating ES Metlaoui on their home turf. AS Soliman FC who had lost back-to-back games, bounced back with a slim (1-0) as Mariano Maatougi scored the only goal. The victory was their third of the season, as they are now six points adrift of the relegation zone. AS Soliman have kept three clean sheets over their last six matches, but there is a serious concern about their performance in front of goal. 

AS Soliman have picked up sixteen points from a combined forty-eight, scoring eleven and conceding eighteen. 

AS Slimane have won twice, lost three and drawn three times on the road this season. 

Interesting Facts

Expert Betting Tips

Esperance ST have turned their season around already, as they are just a point away from the top of the log. The league is still far from over, with fourteen games yet to be played; however, they are considered the favourites to secure the Tunisian Premier League title. On the other hand, AS Soliman FC are not a consistent team, but they head here with a victory over ES Metlaoui. 

Esperance ST's last two games on their home turf have been disappointing, and they’ll be keen to work on that. With just a point separating them from the top of the standings, I expect them to exert dominance over the guests here; bet on a home win and under 3.5 goals for 1.75 at (Betway).

I also expect to see the hosts win before the break for 1.65 at (Bet365).

I also think both halves will witness a goal apiece for 2.10 at (1xbet).

Good luck!
