The Blood and Gold side might secure the top spot in Group A with a win here following their (2-2) stalemate against US Tataouine. Esperance took the lead twice against their opponent a few days ago, but the home side responded twice to share the spoils against the champions. Esperance ST were wasteful and deserved more than two goals.

Esperance ST have picked up twenty-eight points from a possible thirty-nine this season, scoring twenty-three while conceding eight. Nabil Maaloul's side are doing great, considering the quality of the league this season, and if they persist and are more aggressive in front of the goal, they can retain their spot at the top of the log.

Esperance ST have won five and drawn once over the last six home games.

This might be the end of the road for the visitors in their pursuit of championship football, as they have drawn once, lost one and won three over the last five games. ES Hammam Sousse earned a crucial point at home against CS Sfaxien. They scored first but lost their lead after conceding a penalty in the 92nd minute. A loss here will halt their dream of playing in the championship, as they have picked fourteen points from a possible thirty-nine.

ES Hammam Sousse have won once, drawn twice and lost three in their last six away games.

The last five meetings have seen Esperance ST with three wins, ES Hammam Sousse have won none, and two games ending in a share of the spoils. We are not certain the home side will future all their key players as they play the CAF Champions League three days after this game; of course, we don’t expect the visitors to dominate, but we are backing them with a win or draw for 2.60. A win for the visitors will qualify them for the championship round, and they will fight till the end to at least secure a point here.

Both sides might settle for a halftime draw for 2.00.

We expect a total of under 2.5 goals here for 1.50.

Good luck!
