Etoile Sahel vs CS Sfaxien Prediction: Hosts expected to win this game

At Stade Olympique de Sousse, Etoile Sahel will play CS Sfaxien in the championship group of the Tunisia Ligue Professionnelle 1. Their last meetings ended in draws. Will there be a winner in this one?

Etoile Sahel's last game was against Stade Tunisien, and in that game, we witnessed a goalless draw. In the meantime, that was their third game that ended in that score, two others against Club Africain and Monastir. However, their game against Ahly Sfaxien ended in a 0-1 win in the Tunisia Cup, while they lost to Esperance Tunis. In the championship group standings, Etoile Sahel are seated 5th with 9 points, scoring 3 goals and conceding 5.

CS Sfaxien are coming off a 1-0 defeat at the hands of Monastir. In that game, a late-minute strike by Chiheb Jebali. However, prior games to that defeat saw CS Sfaxien play to draws with Esperance Tunis and Stade Tunisien while they secured a 1-3 win over Club Africain. In the championship group, CS Sfaxien have accumulated 9 points from 8 matches, positioning them 4th in the standings. 

This should be a close game like every other encounter of this fixture. On the other hand, CS Sfaxien have my backing here, having won three of the last five fixtures of this game, and are at home in this one. Also, with few goals in this fixture, I expect a similar result, too.
