CS Sfaxien vs Zarzis Prediction: Expect a competitive encounter from these two sides

Stade Taïeb Mhiri will host the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1 game between CS Sfaxien and Zarzis. Heading into this fixture, the home team is the favorite side to win, while the road team is the underdog. Below is a match preview and possible betting opportunities. 

CS Sfaxien were held to a goalless draw by Club Africain in their last league game and will look to win this time. However, prior encounters this season saw this team lose only once, a 1-0 defeat on the road against JS Omrane. In the meantime, this team has won four of their last nine matches in all competitions. This season in the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1, CS Sfaxien have eight points from a possible fifteen, leaving them seated 8th in the league's standings.

Zarzis pulled off a surprising win over Esperance Tunis the previous weekend, a 1-0 win. In that game, Yosri Dhaflaoui's 17th-minute strike was the difference, extending Zarzis' performance to four wins this season. However, Zarzis' only defeat this season was on the road against Club Africain. With wins over Metlaoui, EGS Gafsa, and Stade Tunisien, Zarzis sit in third spot in the standings, scoring seven goals and conceding two. 

Zarzis have been a threat to top sides this season, and their performance last weekend was a testament to this. While CS Sfaxien have lost only one of their recent matches, I believe their league experience will be the difference here. While the majority of Zarzis' wins have been from home games, they might have to rely on defensive play. Bet on the home side while both teams score.
