Slimane vs CS Sfaxien Prediction: Visiting Sfaxien will not drop points this time

Stade de Soliman will host the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 encounter between Slimane and CS Sfaxien. The two teams suffered a defeat in their last matchup. With Slimane winning the last fixture of this game, how will CS Sfaxien respond in this game?

Slimane

Slimane's last game was against Club Africain, and they suffered a defeat. In a match that ended 4-2, Slimane were behind by three goals before they scored their first goal, thanks to Mohamed Rayen Hamrouni. However, Amenallah El Majhed’s strike at the last minute could only have seen this side reduce their goal deficit. Heading into this game, Slimane have not won any of their previous four league games, drawing three and losing one. 

CS Sfaxien

CS Sfaxien's last game was in the CAF Confederation Cup, and they lost. In a match that ended 0-1, in the 81st minute, Brahim Dib’s strike was the difference, handing this team a losing opener in the CAF competition. However, a prior league game between these teams saw CS Sfaxien defeat US Tataouine, ending 2-0. Heading into this game, however, CS Sfaxien have not lost their last six league matches, winning two and drawing four. 

Expert Betting Tips

Slimane should be a tough side to crack in this fixture, but I do not see them winning. CS Sfaxien this season, however, are playing below the competition, with difficulties in securing a win. The two teams have their troubles and will need to do better here, especially as they are way below the top spot in the standings. In the meantime, CS Sfaxien are the better team, and while the two teams have been inconsistent, I expect them to settle for a defensive play while the road team takes maximum points.
