Etoile du Sahel vs Sportif Sfaxien Prediction: The home side won’t hold back at halftime

Etoile du Sahel will lock horns with winless Sportif Sfaxien at the Stade Olympique de Sousse on Wednesday. The home side will hopefully retain their spot on the log while the visitors search for their first victory since the start of the season. 

Etoile du Sahel (1st)

Last five games: WWDWW

The home side are one of the most in-form teams in the league, with four wins and a draw in the last five games. They have also scored the most goals (14) this season and have conceded just four times. More recently, they left it late to secure all the points against CA Bizertin. Etoile du Sahel won the game (1-2) following last minute gasp from Mohamed Dhaoui.

Etoile du Sahel are not in the CAF competition following their poor run last season, which can help them focus more on the league and maybe they can secure the Tunisian title this season.

Etoile du Sahel have won twice and drawn once at home this season.

CS Sfaxien (8th)

Last three games: DLDD

The visitors' struggle continued with another stalemate against Stade Tunisien. They kicked off their season with a goalless draw against ES Hammam Sousse, and the result was followed by a disappointing (2-0) defeat on the road against CS Chebba. However, they stood their ground against champions Esperance ST to secure their second point of the season as they continued to recover from their recent woes.

CS Sfaxien are yet to win a game away from home in the league this season; however, it has been an average performance so far despite securing the Tunisian FA a few weeks back.
