Stade Tunisien vs Espérance ST Prédiction: This Derby game will end in favour of the guests

On Saturday, Stade Tunisien will face off against a resurgent Espérance ST side in a must-win game at the Al Hadi Niver Stadium. The hosts will be hopeful of quickly readjusting following their back-to-back stalemates in the league, and they have to do everything right to secure a point against arguably the best team in the division.

Expert Betting Tips

Stade Tunisien have been firing on all cylinders this season until their recent games. They have shared the spoils back to back in the league as they dropped to third place on the log. Their gameplay has fallen drastically since they sold their best player, Youssouf Oumarou. The last time they faced Espérance ST, they shared the spoils, with Youssouf Oumarou scoring a brace. His absence will be felt against a new look, Esperance ST, who have been up and running lately.

Espérance ST's last game exposed them at the back, and they conceded twice against ES Metlaoui. This is a derby game, and the most calculated and composed side will triumph here. Stade Tunisien have won their last two home games against Espérance ST but we can’t guarantee they’ll win this time. The hosts have sold their best player, and they’ll likely struggle to convert their chanc,s while Espérance ST will most definitely find the back of the net. The guests are the favourite here, and I think they’ll likely win or draw and score more than a goal for 2.13 at (Betway).

I also think this game will likely produce at least a goal before the break for 1.63 at (1xbet).

Espérance ST are my favourite pick here, as they have the resources to pull off a win for 2.47 at (Bet365).

Good luck!
