Club Africain vs CS Sfaxien Prediction: Take the hosts to pick maximum points

Stade Olympique Hammadi Agrebi will host the championship group Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 game between Club Africain and CS Sfaxien. The last time these two teams faced, we witnessed a goalless draw. Will there be a winner in this encounter?

Club Africain are coming off a goalless draw with Etoile Filante. In the meantime, Club Africain have failed to win any of their last three league games, with the prior two ending in a goalless draw with Stade Tunisien, while one ended in a defeat against Esperance Tunis. This season in the championship group, Club Africain have accumulated 7 points from 5 games, positioning them 4th.

CS Sfaxien are off a 1-1 draw with Esperance Tunis last time in the league. In that encounter, CS Sfaxien found themselves behind in the 5th minute of the game, with Rodrigo Rodrigues scoring for Esperance Tunis. However, a second-half 46th-minute goal by Diby Beranger Gautier levelled the scores for CS Sfaxien, ensuring they ended the match with one point. In the meantime, prior encounters to that draw saw CS Sfaxien go seven games without a win. In the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 championship group, CS Sfaxien are seated bottom spot with five points. 

The last five meetings between these sides ended in one win for Club Africain in regular time, while four others ended in draws. Club Africain scored 3 goals in that encounter, while CS Sfaxien scored one. 

These two chances of making it to the CAF tournament next season rely on this game, and we can expect them to be at the top level. The hosts have the advantage, but the visiting team has recently held many teams to draws. Regardless, this encounter has ended in few goals in previous years and with the level of defensive play of both sides at the moment, a similar result is expected. Also, while Club Africain come in as favorites here, I expect them to be able to win here as they have had better performances lately than their visitors.
